A team from Europe has never been able to lift the biggest international trophy on South American soil, and the chief executive officer of the Bavarian giants believes that Die Mannschaft will not be able to break the pattern
in 2014.
Bayern Munich director Karl-Heinz Rummenigge suggested that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Philipp-Lahm-c29929.
The 56-year-old captained FC Hollywood outfit and the national team in his playing career and stated that Germany’s top priority is to win the coveted trophy in Brazil. However, the two-time European Footballer of the Year feels
that the home nations will have a vital edge on their European counterparts.
The CEO said that he does not agree with the view of his Die Roten players that the national team will add another World Cup title to their tally. He believed that the European sides will find it hard to perform at their highest
level in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 due to the playing conditions.
"I don't have the opinion that some Bayern players have that Germany will be world champions in 2014," Rummenigge was quoted as saying in an interview.
Die Mannschaft have an amazing record in the top tournaments and have always exceeded expectations of their fans. Therefore, Germany will again be picked as one of the favourites to win the major honour in 2014. On the other hand,
the most favourable team to win the trophy will be http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 as they won the last world Cup.
"I fear it won't be different this time," he remarked on the fact that a European nation has never lifted the World Cup in South America.
"A country from South America like Brazil or http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 will become world champions. They will try to compensate for the loss at the last two World Cups," the former Bayern Munich and Servette FC striker concluded.
The experienced former star has backed a South American side to win the trophy this time around as he believes Brazil and Argentina will have territorial advantage over other nations.
