The Germany international has asked his team to get better in their defensive displays, and stressed that there is a healthy competition for places in the national side.
Germany shot-stopper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Neuer-c23424 has insisted the significance of having a great defence, something he feels Joachim Low’s team need to make an effort on. He believes that they can further improve at the back and should stop conceding
silly goals.
The 2012 European Championships semi-finalists have enjoyed a great start to their 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign with two wins out of two. However, the FC Hollywood goalkeeper feels they can further improve their defensive
record having only conceding one goal in the qualifiers.
The custodian suggested that they need to focus. He said the team consists of very talented attackers but they also need to concentrate on the defensive front. He thinks it is crucial to have a solid performance at the back. He
further added that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Miroslav-Klose-c26049 is very good defensively and helps the side a lot on that front.
"We have to concentrate more, that is very important. We have got many great attacking players, but we cannot disregard the defence," he was quoted as saying in an interview.
"In my opinion it is important to have a stable defence. Klose is the best example. His defensive qualities as a striker are outstanding," he added.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 number one further added that there is intense competition within the squad and negated Bastian Schweinsteiger’s claim that a few of the player did not give their maximum efforts during Euro 2012. Neuer said that he
saw the whole team devastated after the defeat against Italy and claimed they worked as a unit.
"I did not see one man after the loss against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 who was happy to go home. We were a unit," he mused.
"No one can rest. The competition is strong in our team. Everyone has to work hard to gain his place in the starting eleven," he stated.
Moreover, the goalkeeper conceded that every team member should work hard in order to get a starting berth in the national side.
