The national team manager has defended his decision to bench Borussia Dortmund players, claiming they lack international experience.
Joachim Low has insisted that he wants his best and most experienced side on the pitch in the European championship. He admitted that the German squad has players with immense talent and that every individual has the ability to
win a game.
The tactician has faced criticism by former players for neglecting Borussia Dortmund players in the recent international friendlies against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Israel-c2925 from the starting line-up.
The argument is that the players from Jurgen Klopp’s side have had a terrific season domestically and have put in some sensational performances so why are they not being awarded with considerable opportunities at the international
level.
Low insisted that Dortmund players have performed brilliantly in the Bundesliga and the German Cup but they have not played many games for the national side in comparison to their Bayern Munich counterparts. He admitted that the
Borussians certainly have the class but they lack the experience at the international level.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfB-Stuttgart-c40879 manager stressed that the European championship is one of the most competitive competitions in international football and insisted that he does not want to take any risks. He claimed that the players from
Dortmund are young and have a lot of time to serve their country in the future.
“Dortmund's players are very, very strong domestically and they are on the rise, but they are not as tried and tested internationally as the Bayern players. There is a different level at a European Championships. With all due respect,
we are not playing against Hoffenheim and Nurnberg,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, the tactician added that it will not be a walk in the park for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 and is confident that Die
Mannschaft will live up to the expectations.
“We are playing against the top 10 teams in the world - against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, the current world and European champions. That is the highest level,” he concluded.
Germany will play their first game of Euro 2012 against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 on June 9.
