The Bavarian giants’ midfielder claims he does not understand how the national side threw away a very comfortable lead in their Group C World Cup qualifying match against Sweden in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Berlin-c7536.
Bayern Munich central midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bastian-Schweinsteiger-c7374 was clueless after Germany were unable to beat Sweden in their 2014 World Cup qualifier on Tuesday, even though they were winning 4-0 with only 30 minutes left in the game.
Die Mannschaft had registered a very early lead after the veteran striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904.
Moreover, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Per-Mertesacker-c29680 and Real Madrid’s Mesut Ozil scored to make it 4-0 for the home side.
However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Johan-Elmander-c18782 added two more goals. To Die Nationalelf’s surprise Rasmus
Elm levelled the game in stoppage time.
The central midfield player stated that he was stunned by their defensive displays, and commented that if only a couple of players do not track back then the team suffers. He further added that in the second-half they were all
woeful at the back, and were not running enough and closing down the Sweden attackers.
"I do not understand it. Nowadays it is already not [good] enough when two or three players do not run enough," the Bayern Munich player was quoted as saying in an interview.
"But with us, everybody was one step behind. And so you concede four goals against Sweden,” the former Germany Under-21 international added.
"Never in a lifetime could we not have won this match. I do not remember this ever happening to us,” the 2012 UEFA Champions League runner-up finally concluded.
Schweinsteiger conceded that this was the main reason they faltered and let in four goals. He said that this was an easy win after taking an unassailable lead but they could not prevent a comeback. He revealed that this has never
happened to the national team at least during his career.
