The Bayern Munich number has hailed the depth in the Mannschaft squad, and believes it is the key to winning Championships.
The Mannschaft came into the tournament on the back of a few disappointing results. Joachim Low felt the need to make a few changes to the starting line up, because he had the resources to do so. He dropped http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Per-Mertesacker-c29680 in favour
of inexperienced http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mats-Hummels-c24767.
The Borussia Dortmund centre-back paid back his manager’s faith by putting in a few solid performances. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753,

Joachim Low left his squad almost unchanged during the group stage; young members of the Nationalelf squad vented their frustration at not being able to play a part in their country’s European campaign.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Neuer-c23424 plays down claims that there was any disharmony in the squad. He suggests all the squad players want to play and have never been on the bench so obviously they are frustrated but they are being professional about it.
He also insists that the overall quality of the squad has increased.
“Of course we're all professionals, and a lot of players that we have here might have deserved to play thus far. We have, compared to 2010, improved the squad with players that are key players in the Bundesliga. It's hard for them
because they have to sit on the bench,” he is quoted as saying in an interview.
The former Schalke man further stressed on the depth of the German squad which he believes was evident when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lars-Bender-c21663 filled in for the suspended Jerome Boateng and played a blinder. He also praised the young members of the Mannschaft
squad and was impressed by their quality and hard work in training.
"They give their all in training; they're always ready to come in. We saw what happened when [Jerome] Boateng couldn't play, and [Lars] Bender came in [and scored]," he added.
Joachim Low’s side certainly have a lot of quality in their ranks. DFB eleven’s squad depth is certainly on par with La Roja’s. The depth of German squad will surely be of use as the tournament progresses.
