Joachim Löw, in fashionable affairs usually a friend discreet colors and casual elegance, had on the day when the national team continued its EM countdown in scene, a canary yellow, almost already into Neonhafte playing shirt pulled over. That was, as you may suspect, given the other of style of the national coach, not a fashion faux pas. But probably also a part of the message that wanted to bring those responsible for the national team on that day in the capital necessarily Unters football nation: Let’s start with the national team, but really! If it were not for these three problem cases the national team would be: Max Kruse, who simply do not want to go to bed on time. Bastian Schweinsteiger, whose body no longer likes to play right. And Mario Götze by his club coach no longer

However, after the series: Almost three months before the European (June 10-July 10) in France were Löw, manager Oliver Bierhoff and the big sponsor of the German Football Association on Wednesday anyway conspicuous striving in a mixture to put their symbolic characters from press conference and product presentation. With the special games in Berlin and Munich against England (Saturday, 20:45 / Live on ZDF) and Italy (Tuesday, 20:45 / live on ARD and both games each in the International Match Scores on FAZ.NET) one wants now, so Bierhoff, the fans and people in Germany give a signal of departure. Nocturnal tours of the staff likes to lead the national team in these circumstances anyway partout no longer afford.
The decision, Max Kruse rauszuwerfen for unprofessional conduct, was loud Bierhoff also be understood as a sign that there “for us is really serious. ” And that would only have this player the world champion, the now very focused on the EM. A very pragmatic justification for one of the sharpest penalties, which has been in the era Loew / Bierhoff ever imposed in ten years.
Of special care or even protection against a professional who strays obviously the way was at Löw nothing to feel before the last major friendlies before Euro. “With Max Kruse I had had a conversation a few days ago. I had him very clearly that I do not care what he does in his spare time. But I do not find it professionally when morning is staying in another city between a game and a training session. I suggested to him to be completely focused on the final stage of the league, the Champions League and also in the European championship. I thought that he now needs a lesson. I could not accept this because I had a few days ago spoke with him, “said the national coach. “But that should not be synonymous with an off at the European Championships. Maybe he can learn from this lesson. I will continue to watch what happens on and off the court. “
In the case of Bastian Schweinsteiger, who was injured in training on Tuesday night in a duel, the matter is for the national coach already complicated. The captain immediately traveled from out of the district to be examined in his old home in Munich. Result MRI: It is something torn in his right knee. This season, Schweinsteiger had failed two months at Manchester because of a medial ligament tear. Now a partial demolition of the inner band was found. For the two matches on Easter Saturday in Berlin against England and in Munich on Tuesday against Italy Schweinsteiger fails. “That is very bitter, Bastian was just back on the right track,” said Loew. “I told him that I will write him facing the EM no means.”
