Erik Durm is set to the full-back position for the time being
As Joachim Loew takes the steps to the podium at the press conference in Essen dealership, already receives him applause. The coach has still not said a word in this moment and his team had two days ago 0: 2 lost in Poland. But that does not matter. Important in this moment is something else: The coach is there. The world champion coach. And that’s enough.

The spokesperson registered the spontaneous applause attention. For something like that, he says, is really not often happened in the past. Löw then works very relaxed and not so dissatisfied from the defeat in Warsaw. He then gives a confident outlook for the qualifier on this Tuesday in Gelsenkirchen against Ireland (20.45 clock / Live at RTL and in the international game ticker at FAZ.NET), even up to the European Championships 2016th

As the national coach after a good twenty minutes from the podium rises, accompanied him back applause. Before leaving the house, Löw is willing and friendly smiling for group picture. Workers in overalls crowd around the national coach, in the first row radiate a few children. And tomorrow we win against Ireland, the people say. It’s obvious.
“Life is much more beautiful than before the World Cup,” Joachim Löw had noticed before departure from Warsaw. Such moments like now at a car dealership somewhere in Essen industrial area illustrate a little how this beautiful world champion life itself might feel in Germany. The fourth star warms the national coach and the national team still. Also two defeats in three games have not able to change anything.
As the gates are not just like
The day before the next daily game in the European Championship qualifier against Ireland, after all, the leader after two wins, Löw leaves no moment of negative thoughts lead. The encounter with Poland, he has once again fully considered, he says, and everything after the game already seemed to him directly not so bad, it was also confirmed at a second glance.
three things, said the coach, he had demanded of his team: a good order, prevent Polish counterattack, and a good build-up play from the defense. All this was his team also implemented, only the gates are not just fallen. “If we had not had opportunities in the game that would have been annoying,” said Loew. But: not the end

Still in the television studio of Warsaw Löw was confronted on camera with the criticism of the former National goalkeeper Jens Lehmann, who alleged that the national coach to have failed to try in the eight weeks since Philipp Lahm’s resignation on the full-back position something new and to develop. That is not so easy, Löw had the TV experts Lehmann replied in the studio diplomatically. On Monday it
but were already terms such as “problems” or “sites” in connection with his team too much.
Over the past few years had been discussed between the tournaments in this way about his team, Loew noted. But this criticism, the coach wants to be understood, had been covered, just pure alarmism. Or, better yet scaremongering. “It said: We have no more striker – and forget that we have scored the most goals in the tournament. Or the central defense does not work – then we find that we get the least goals conceded, “Loew said

“We have some distance required”
And it shall apply the most recent World Cup experience on the current situation of, on the side defense with the Dortmund Erik Durm on the left and the Stuttgart Antonio Rüdiger on the right side. Both are to be used against Ireland again. “Big problems I do not see,” Loew says about these two positions. “We have to some extent necessary.”
The problem – sorry, the need – is on the full-back positions in the national team beyond Philipp Lahm but rather for eight years, not only for eight weeks. At least until the end of the year it will now set up the new Duo Borussia Dortmund and VfB at the DFB. The 22-year-old and 21-year-old Durm Rüdiger are for the national coach also at the meetings in November with Gibraltar and Spain, “the first option,” he said. He will “spend a lot of time” to two young players, promises the coach. “It was clear that a Philipp Lahm, who was world-class, will not be replaced on the other day of one.”

But until the European Championships in 2016 he had several other candidates in mind, which he zutraue on this position somewhat reassured Löw – must refrain from Ireland to the diseased Christoph Kramer and freshman Karim Bell Arabi represented a further application prospect. He did not name names until Sebastian Rudy.
It is not even necessary that grossed-back over such a long period. At the World Cup we’ve seen that they could solve such things in the short term. “That we have proved,” said Loew. The self-confidence and self-assurance of a world champion, the Loew brought together with the trophy from Rio halls, three months later in a commercial area in Essen.
