The 25-year old preaches caution ahead of his side’s quarter-final with Greece.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 and Denmark. They even managed to knock the Dutch out of the tournament, and have now set up a quarter-final date with Greece.
Fernando Santos’ men surprised a strong Russian side full of star players, to cement their place in the last eight of the 2012 European Championship. If the Mannschaft manage to beat the Ethniki, they could set up a mouth-watering
semi-final with their bitter rivals England.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sami-Khedira-c32325 however, insists his side are fully focused on Greece. The former Stuttgart revealed his side are training hard and they are well aware of their opponents.
“We had an impression against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denmark-c2884 of what will come when we play Greece. We have picked up intense training again, and we know what we'll be up against,” he is quoted as saying in an interview.
The 25-year old reckons his side will not be thinking about a possible semi-final with Italy or England. He knows the Greeks are a well organized side, who defend in numbers and play with a lot of passion.
“We are focused on Greece, they have a great team, we won't underestimate them, but we are not thinking about the semi-final or even the final right now. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 are strong as well, but we are not thinking about them now,”
he added
Khedira thinks the Ethniki are a tricky side to beat, who are good in the air and are really good at counter-attacks. Fernando Santos’ side are no doubt capable of hurting the Nationalelf on set pieces. The Real Madrid midfielder
believes his side will have to play at a high tempo in order to create chances.
“They [http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Greece-c2908] are fast in counter situations – we'll have to keep the pace high, then we will get our chances," he further added.
The Germans will have to be patient in the quarter-final because the Greeks will press them all over the pitch in order to suffocate them. Joachim Low’s men have the quality and experience to break down plucky sides, and will get
their chances if these make use of the ball intelligently.
