http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Per-Mertesacker-c29680 has admitted that he wants his side to try and overpower Spain as being the prime footballing nation in the world.
The defender made these claims in a recent press conference, as he feels http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 has the right mix of players who can go on and cause havoc on the pitch.
When talking about http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 and just how the German side need to be in order to beat them, the Gunners centre back is reported to have said: "It should be clear that you can always learn little things from successful teams. We still have to learn a lot of things,
to get to a point where we will be able to not just challenge teams like Spain, but overpower them.”
"We still miss a few things, especially our work rate can be improved. Dortmund showed that they have their qualities in this area, that they can pressure their opponents in order to give them a problem."
Germany recently went on to draw a game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015, despite them leading by four goals at one point. Mertesacker managed to get on the score sheet for the Germans in the game, but he was part of the squad that failed to contain the Swedish attacks, which
saw the game end in a four all thriller.
Now with Germany already displaying that they can suffer from setbacks every now and then, they need to try and improve their performances over the coming weeks, or they could end up suffering even more shock results.
This season, a host of German players have gone on to impress for their club sides, with Mertesacker being one of the players leading the line from the front.
His performances for Arsenal have gotten him the recognition he deserves, and he is currently hailed as one of the best centre backs in the Premier League.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lukas-Podolski-c22896, who is another Arsenal player who represents Germany, is a player who many believe will help the German squad prosper in the near future.
Nonetheless, it is now up to the team to prove just how badly they want to overpower Spain, and they need to prove their point by putting in brilliant performances on a regular basis.
