Germany Coach Impressed With Performance
Filed Under Euro 2008 | Leave a Comment
Well it would appear my first prediction has already gone down the drain with Germany defeating Portugal in the first quarter-final. This wasn’t the start I was looking for but we’ll see how the rest of my predictions shape up over the weekend.
German coach Low made it very clear to media after the match that he was very impressed from what he seen of his team against Portugal. The coach had a one game ban due to their final game against Austria so he was able to watch this game from above ground level which is rare for a coach. He mentioned it was very difficult to watch the game from in the executive box but he had no choice and he also mentioned that it may have been good to see his team play from above. You can view a lot more of the game when you don’t need to focus on coaching everyone and maybe it will help the Germans leading up to the semi-finals. The coach will be back on the bench for the semi-finals match against whoever it may be.
The Germans switched there playing style for their match against Portugal and it played out good for them. It didn’t seem to me that they were lost or anything and the game was suppose to be close like it was so I feel the Germans did good to knock off Portugal. I definitely think the Germans will be winning the Euros now this year, but then again I’m already 0-1. I got a feeling they’ll be playing the Dutch in the finals and it should make for an awesome match between the two sides as long as the Dutch continue playing like they started off playing.
