The German number one is delighted with the progress of the team but is wary of the threat the Greek side progresses.
Die Mannschaft have qualified for the quarter-final stage after beating http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denmark-c2884 in their final group stage fixture. The DFB eleven progressed with a perfect record, winning all three games played in the ‘Group of Death’.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Neuer-c23424 expressed his delight on winning the Group B and admitted that it is an amazing feat for the side. He insisted that the team has lived up to the expectations and is confident of a successful campaign.
The shot stopper admitted that it was by no means easy to beat some of the best teams in Europe to make a place in the last eight of the competition. However, he stressed that there is still room for improvement ahead of the vital
clash against the Greek side.
“We did not have an easy group. All the teams had their specific qualities, and it wasn't easy for us. However, I believe that we still have room for improvement,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The former Schalke man insisted that his side had aimed to win all the games in the group and they were successful in doing that. The player is confident that the team will learn from the mistakes made thus far in the competition
and will put in another impressive performance against Greece, who earned a place in the last eight after a surprise win over Greece.
“Ahead of the tournament, we were already hoping to win all our group games and reach the quarter-finals as group winners. It's important that we don't have to travel [and can stay in Gdansk],” the Bayern Munich goalkeeper concluded.
Die Nationalelf have thus far lived up to their favourites’ tag and are tipped to book their place in the semi-final after defeating http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Greece-c2908. The team is hopeful of going all the way this time around after losing out in the final
and semi-final of the Euro 2008 and World Cup 2010 respectively, against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011.
The tournament’s other favourite team, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753, have been knocked out after three defeats in three games.
