Of course, a persistent narrow rain received delegation from German Football federation when it landed at Belfast Airport. How could it be orwise on Blessed Island, which shines again in middle of autumn in such exemplary green as if someone had gone with a giant brush quast across country.
Moreover, welcome of norrn for Germans could hardly be greater, game between first and second of World Cup qualification Group C in Windsor Park is not only sold out, it is even so sold out that re is no black market. The majority of 18 500 home-type tickets were sold in last summer in season ticket for complete campaign at a reasonable price. Now, this would make a good return, but enthusiasm for green whites is stronger than greed.
Bundesliga-taken from a severe disease? The Bundesliga division is covering all areas of European Cup. But pushing everything to aggressive capitalism in football is too easy. Comment by Philipp Selldorf more…
The high esteem of hosts will get Jogi Löw and his world champions and Confed Cup winners for free, wherever y go, this is no different in Belfast. Michael O’Neill, Norrn Ireland’s national coach, has already humbly referred to DFB selection as best team in world, and internal defender Gareth McAuley raved about how it behoves, from German players, “who are on a different level” than he and his Earthly colleagues. The Dolmens man has also explicitly included rar Hühnchenbeinigen Munich Thomas Müller, whose movements he finds “brilliant”. No Irish has so far come up with idea to declare doubts about old football superpower on basis of recent European Cup balance of German clubs.
So Germans have to do it mselves. Many experts have used past few days to question glory of Bundesliga; The defeats series of six top representatives in Champions League and Europa League condense at once fundamental concerns. The 90s world champion Thomas Berthold, for example, sees a nationwide “tempo and technology deficit”, and who now dismissing that Berthold is always a representative of grim maximum criticism, even on minimal occasions, must take note that recognised Opinion leaders to make similar conclusions.
“The Best league ever? You have to ask yourself if this is really true. “
For example, this: “If you go back a bit in this century, n you have to say that we have not brought too many titles in Germany. And if it always means that Bundesliga is best league ever, n you have to ask yourself if this is really true. ” These sentences were spoken on Wednesday in Stormont at Belfast Jogi Löw in person in front of reporters from homeland and Norrn Ireland.

It did not flash and thunder, but words were also so clear enough. Where Löw attaches importance to fact that he himself did not need Missratene Cup round with six defeats in last week (“a bit alarming!”) in order to learn brutal truth about state of German football. His knowledge is based on long-term observations: “I have not only been thinking about this since yesterday, that has been case for last few years,” he said, and it must indeed be conceded to him. Löw never took part in self-satisfied joy of German talent training because he always believed that re was no unique selling point. Now he sees moment to point out again emphatically: “Also in France, in England, in Spain re are in offspring üüüüberraagende players,” explained Löw. It sounded like a warning.
On or hand, Löw and his players attach importance to fine difference. “The national team is definitely acting at world level,” said Mats Hummels, in Bundesliga clubs “not case, in individual cases already, but not in crowd”. With individual cases, of course, Bavarians and dortmunders are meant, but just y are now talking about current national team trip. Dortmunders are not at all in danger, which according to Löw is due to fact that Mario Götze and Julian Weigl are still to recover from long injuries.
In Belfast, Bavaria was given opportunity to inquire, and questions arose about status of state. Hummels had to explain that he had no fear of enlightening colleagues from or clubs about situation at FC Bayern, ” last few days were quite grueling, but I now do not know why we should be in any State”.
Of course, forthcoming evening with Norrn Ireland was also talked about in office hours of German patient: “There is a game with a lot of explosiveness and a fantastic audience,” said Löw, who is not aware of sorrow for Bundesliga: ” For us, it is always task to perform in such a way that it makes people at home happy. I believe that we have made this qualification with eight victories in eight games too. ” A draw is enough, and Germans are at World Cup 2018 in Russia.
