Löw: “The goal in the last breath disappoints”

Joachim Löw, the German coach, spoke to the media after Germany missed a victory against Spain by conceding a goal in the last minute of the game.

Q. What summary do you make of the game?
R. “The truth is that, in the first half, it was a very interesting game. Both teams invested a lot in their game and in putting their adversary in trouble. Therefore, I think I can be satisfied with the performance of my team. The first part was, especially, in the tactical field of the most entertaining. Both sets deployed quite intense high pressure. It was kind of a back and forth. It is clear that we are disappointed that we conceded the goal at the last breath, but also it is necessary to be clear that the players are not in competition rhythm and that we must take for granted that errors occur “.

Q. What did you think about UEFA reducing the number of changes from 5 to 3?
R. “Especially right now, a total of 5 changes would have made sense. Keep in mind that all my players have had little preparation. And I realized that some were burned at the end of the game. “

Q. Are you still not considering the option of summoning Tomas Müller again?
R. “I am not a seer, I cannot see the future. But I have reiterated on several occasions that we have players of the stature of Werner, Havertz, Sané and others. The future belongs to them and they need all the time and support so that they can develop their qualities optimally. “
