#2 Not the Germany we know
Trending
The German side that won the World Cup last year gave us a display of incisive football with both the ball and players floating around the pitch like it was a routine from a synchronised swimming event. The precision of their passing and movement made us all stand in awe and admire the machine that was the German team.
However, two years later in the Euros, that fluency and panache in the German team seem to be missing. Joachim Low’s men seem indecisive in the final third both with the final ball as well as the players’ movement. That culminated in a show in which the World Champions failed to produce a single clear-cut opportunity at goal. Ozil’s shot in the second-half was the closest the Germans got to scoring and it would be unfair if we say that Low was the happier of the two managers when the final whistle blew.
With the interchanging of the wingers ever so often and Mario Gotze failing to find his niche in the team, it looks as if Low has to dig into more places than his pants to get the Germans back on track.
