It was a routine duty – but nothing more: The German team has in the European Championship Qualification 2: 0 win against Georgia. Especially with the second half of the world champion was unhappy. Defender Hummels surprised with exchange thoughts.
had when former Frankfurt central defender Kachaber Tsahadadse ended on Sunday night as the new coach of the football team Georgia’s press conference, there was loud applause. The Georgian media representatives were despite the 0: obviously been impressed -Niederlage their team against Germany: 2 (0: 2). At the end of a cloudy day in Tbilisi, the German team had held harmless, without having to expend it even close and thus diminished his chances not to participate in the European Championship 2016 in France.
“The bring three points home, that’s what it was,” concluded the sovereign defender Mats Hummels together – and delivered then the interesting news that he think about switching his employer “I look, which suits me the sense and what I would like.” Does not sound good for Borussia Dortmund, despite current contract.
The sold-out National Stadium the competing with eight world champions Germans had previously done exactly what was needed to the underdogs with goals of their best, Marco Reus (39), and Thomas Müller (44.) routinely beat: They played valiantly struggling and weakened by an early injury of their defense chiefs Georgians by continuously passing tired and lost the patience, after some time had fallen no Goals
“It’s frustrating,”
Germany coach Joachim Loew said after the 90 minutes from Tbilisi: “When you look at the table of the seriousness of the situation was not overlooked. We had to win. With the first half, I was happy because we played dynamically forward. In the second half we only managed events. “In addition, were hardly played out chances, Loew said. “I was missing the third goal. We scored enough goals “Thomas Müller grumbled:”. The second half without a goal – it’s always frustrating, “captain Bastian Schweinsteiger was happy with the three points.. “We are not in the track. We need to improve. “
In the final training had been kissed the German captain of a Georgian press representatives nor shoes with cleats, 24 hours later, the famous world champion from Germany received less affectionate. There was unmistakable whistle on arrival. Germany coach Joachim Loew had “a cauldron” expected and assumed any strong kick their third-rate team would be accompanied by local viewers with ten thousands of times jubilation. Just as it happened, but the visitors still remained calm and organized. “We have clearly dominated the game,” Loew said afterwards satisfied.

The solution for the after takeoff from a German perspective largely wayward in the qualification not quite unimportant game was Toni Kroos previously issued very unequivocal: “We need to opponents seriously, otherwise it will be uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable it was already on a rainy night in the aging stadium. Until the German leadership, the atmosphere was not hostile, but despite the track around the field extremely tight. An opening goal for Georgia would have been no good thing from a German perspective, but this came at most two or three times only in the beginning. Attentively defended the guests where Kroos and Schweinsteiger harmonized in central midfield thanks to their art and their sense of space.
Loew continued after the failed attempt on Wednesday abandoned against Australia, the three-man back and on a four-man defensive formation with the Cologne Jonas Hector and Hoffenheim’s Sebastian Rudy in the starting lineup. In fact, it is the DFB team acted rather with an existing only from the strong edges Jerome Boateng and Mats Hummels two chain. That did it all against the harmless on the offensive Georgians. Rudy and Hector, who was, however, only rarely plays marched steadily forward. But the goal was less tearing up opposing defenses on the outside, rather than centrally to come into the interfaces with the ball consequences. So then also fell two goals before the break to the taste of Löw
.
Hot Autumn
Once had Mario Götze prepare the ground once did this Mesut Ozil, the previously some action was failed. Reus, who also hit the bar twice, and each Müller transformed easily from close range. Since it was quiet in the mighty oval, an old concrete bowl from the Soviet era, in the press seats are not protected from the rain.
The second half then brought to the Expecting. The German team was not as focused on the task, afforded a couple of inattentiveness and had at least a couple of half chances to Georgia without but seriously get into trouble. Forward combined them not as clean as through before the break. For general amusement in the stands was the fact that a total of half a dozen racer of the inattentive folders could not be stopped in time. Loew felt the repeated interruptions as “disturbing and sometimes quite dangerous,” and Hummels concurred: “I can Flitzertum the abgewinnen nothing. They should be punished as a player with disrespect and not embrace it. “
The next duty tasks await the DFB team in June in Gibraltar (pushover) in Frankfurt in September against Poland (more difficult) and soon after in Scotland and Ireland (away really hard). Joachim Löw sees a “hot autumn” forward. Presumably, he’s right.
