German Football on a Low
German Football on a Low
“We are stronger, now”, said Joachim Low, Germany’s football coach. Full of confidence for his team’s latest performances, such as the one against Russia, he felt the need to warn his 2010 FIFA World Cup rivals.
Did he forget that one of them is Ghana? Not really. Low considers Ghana the top African team along with Algeria. As he later said, Ghana’s players are “physical, with great speed and lots of stamina”. Germany’s coach said his players are technically stronger now than in comparison to 2006 and 2008. But their draw in Group D with Australia, Serbia and Ghana, will not allow him to just relax and enjoy the game.
South Africa’s national team coach, Carlos Alberto Parreira, on the other side urged Bafana Bafana’s players to prove a point to their World Cup rivals. The coaches of France, Mexico and Uruguay hinted they viewed Bafana Bafana as their weakest rival in Group A. Parreira said he does not blame them, since that is correct according to the FIFA rankings. France rank 7th, Mexico 15th, Uruguay 19th and South Africa 86th. But, as the coach said: “We have to prove them otherwise.”
