Marco Reus scored the 1: 0 for Germany in Georgia
The unusual jubilation that was already given to the Germans during the game had, the national coach did not like. Again and again Georgian fans were rushed to the spot to connect with rapt faces of their own, but also German players like Andre Schurrle’s arms. “Normally that does not belong,” Joachim Loew said about the constant storming of the football stage in Tbilisi.

But it was not only the numerous folders hardly unstoppable enthusiasm of some supporters during the Georgian game of the year, on Sunday, slight displeasure of the national coach provoked. After the 2: 0 victory in Georgia and half of the qualifying round of the finals of the European Championship 2016 he was also not very good to say about the yield of its offensive forces. “We have too few goals scored,” Loew turned sour in Georgia firmly – and this deficit included not only those ninety minutes torarmen, but all competitive matches since winning the title
.
More than nine goals in five qualifying matches has not accomplished since the World Cup Löw’s team. A stunningly poor yield for a world champion, who wrote in Brazil alone in the semi-final against the hosts with seven goals in one fell swoop football history.
Now available is 450 minutes against Scotland, Poland, Ireland, and the backbenchers Gibraltar and Georgia just two wickets more in the balance sheet. As in the German Qualification Group D leaders have not only Poland but also Scottish and Irish more to offer.
The dissatisfaction with the notorious final weakness on the way to the finals to France, but was annoyed not only the national coach. “The second half without a goal rankles a bit,” Thomas Mueller admitted openly. The Bayern striker scored in Tbilisi just before the break the 2: 0 after Marco Reus few minutes before the highly deserved lead was successful. Müller scored his fifth goal in Georgia in this competition – more than half of all German Goals

On the other offensive forces is far less reliance in the European Championship qualifiers. Reus scored against Georgia twice the bar and awarded otherwise still a good chance from close range, while Mario Götze like with the 2: 2 in the Test against Australia four days later in Tbilisi remained without results. “We had in the first half, good combinations, always with the goal towards goal,” Löw, who was pleased with the dynamic in the first half German appearance said.
“But what I missed was the third or fourth goal,” he said about the much weaker performance after the break. As his team have more “managed” played the lead as their playful strength as consistent as at the beginning, Loew admitted. The world champion had so if he really wanted to win slightly higher – again, it must be said
.
The shortcomings in the German offensive game that has achieved no more classical shock striker since the departure of Miroslav Klose, the world champion in Tbilisi did not want to further embellish. Miller said, despite the victory of “mixed feelings”.
Although it had been always acting with skillful flat passports in the top, but despite the good game system, the team had done especially after changing too many turnovers, including himself. Toni Kroos put soberly, “that we all ours have the front there is a bit hard done “. Again and again we had to frantically started against the five chain and have thus made the game too tight. “So many opportunities are gone flutes us.”
One can also say otherwise: the flat and short passing game of the technically excellent, agile and combination funny forces as Kroos, Ozil, Gotze and Reus, which can take any opponent apart, it lacks the final determination before the gate, but since the summer not just against Georgia. But even with the zielstrebigeren types striker Podolski Schürrle and see the results no better.
In the wake of this weakness, the Germans, it looks like will probably have to fight until the end of the European Championship qualifying round in the fall. Therefore 0 even halfway relieved: “If you have seen before on the table, the seriousness of the situation was not to be overlooked,” said Loew after 2. For tabular has for the World Champion for the time being nothing changed, but at least the situation feels better now on. In the next and at the same time last competitive game of the season in June, the World Champion scoring goals may, therefore, at least against the football dwarf Gibraltar entirely unencumbered still practice a bit more.
