Joachim Löw, the aesthete .

Under the leadership of Joachim Löw, the team of Germany offers a shimmering and offensive game. A philosophy of laudable game and delightful. The only hitch, this does not win … 

«Football is a very simple game: 22 players run after a ball during 90 minutes and at the end, it is Germany which wins». This famous expression of Gary Lineker does not any more take place to be today. Since the Euro 1996 and a champion title of Europe acquired at the expense of the Czech Republic, Germany did not raise the slightest trophy anymore. An eternity for a nation used to glory and to prestige. A detail for Joachim Löw. In posts for 7 years, the selector of Mannschaft takes entirely this period of famine. «Titles, it is very nice, everybody wants to earn it, but it is also necessary to leave the trace of game», he answers so in a maintenance granted to the Parisian.

People have to be able say: «This team is tremendous», even if he sometimes loses.
— Joachim Löw

The ancient assistant of Jürgen Klinsmann does not hide from it. It doesn't much matter the bottle provided that they are drunkenness, little for him ! Löw is an aesthete. A coach supporter of nice game. «People have to be able say: «This team is tremendous», even if he succeeds at it to lose, notes Löw. It is essential to provoke emotions and that they remember us in future». Finished therefore Germany severe and harsh version. Put to a national team turned to offensive. Even if it means losing of his effectiveness. «Germany could orientate its football after 2000s. This selection always counts in its ranks of the warriors, forts in duels, but it also leans on technical and quick players, admits Didier Deschamps. It is the new philosophy of Joachim Löw that cut with what was before made».

In 2012, the team was still too unskilled to make big jump at this instant.
— Franz Beckenbauer

And oh well if it does not pay at the level of the honours list. Vice-champion of Europe in 2008, third of the world championship 2010, Germany once again failed in 2012 with an elimination in semifinal during the Euro facing Italy. «It is possible to consider the European championship 2012 to be an intermediate stage. The team was still too unskilled to make big jump at this instant», entrusted us Franz Beckenbauer. A thing is sure, in spite of chess, as a result relating, Löw will change in no way its line of conduct. The German selector is persuaded of it, he will reach sooner or later his aims. «Today, it is not possible to win titles any more by playing badly. It is necessary to beat the adversary by offering a structured and thought (…) game We wanted to change the culture of the football within the team of Germany. We reached it. And from now on, we want to earn World Cup by offering a delightful game».

On the condition of regulating the eternal defensive worries which tarnish the picture. Last example there dates : 4-4 conceded last October at home facing Sweden while Germany led 4-0 ! «There also, it was missing experience and dose of intelligence which it is again necessary to develop, they estimate Beckenbauer. But in one and a half year in Brazil, it will differ she will have acquired necessary maturity and experience to be able to aim at the champion title of the world. »The true recognition of thorough job accomplished by Löw is at this price.
