Wales vs Germany Match Preview
Time to recapture the fans
Two consecutive defeats against England and Norway in Germany’s last international games haven’t helped the fans to cheer up their team.
Boos and whistles have replaced anthems and happy cries in the crowd and Germany’s national team manager Oliver Bierhoff completely understands this fact.
Speaking in an interview with Deutschlandfunk radio, Bierhoff avowed:
"The results were bad, and so was the way we played. We aim for exciting and passionate football, so the boos and whistles are completely understandable as a reaction to poor displays."
"As soon as we start playing decent football again, we’ll have the fans back on our side," he optimistically affirmed.
German coach Joachim Low seems to do his best to gather the broken pieces from their last two consecutive international defeats. However, he isn’t in the most comfortable position.
Injury worries, the same old story
Germany are struggling to find back the scintillating form the once had. If Low has to back up his big players to perform, he must also face the obstacles caused by some injury concerns.
Miroslav Klose and Torsten Frings pulled out of the squad since long ago now, while Hertha Berlin’s Arne Friedrich is a recent victim of injury. The medical staff will try and have keeper Rene Adler and midfielder Trochwoski ready for Germany’s trip to Wales.
With only 19 players available out of the 23 called up by the coach for the qualifiers, young players will be given the chance to step up. VfB Stuttgart’s Serdar Tasci, Hoffenheim’s impressive Andreas Beck and Marco Marin of Borussia Monchengladbach and Hamburg’s Marcel Jansen are all poised to feature in the team that will play Wales on April 1.
With how the table stands, Germany should have no problems qualifying to the finals in South Africa. Their main focus now will be on reaching top form on a consistent basis.
As for Wales, they have a lot to do if they want to progress to the ultimate stage which is nothing else than the World Cup in 2010.
