Germany – Poland. Loew praised Poles for bravery – Sport.pl

Joachim Loew, coach of the German national team:

It was known that the Poles ran in the table. We only had one goal – to win and take first place. I think that the team succeeded in thirty-five minutes against a well-organized and bravely playing rivals.

But his own mistakes strengthened the opponent. I can say that it was a very intense match. Rivals really quickly passed to attack, well defended. Poles were able to take advantage of those moments when we attacked.

But a deserved victory, because we dominated. Unfortunately, there were mistakes that could be avoided. And in addition we could use more opportunities. Mario Goetze was in constant motion, always close down, so we had more space in the middle of the field. He did very well.

From our point of view, backs had to play high to pull contenders in their half and shut down the middle. This is us coming out. Jonas Hector great running on the left. He made a very good impression again. On the other hand, Emre Can was not easy for Pressing. He had trouble adjusting to playing in the top four defenders. But in the second part of the game he succeeded, he is strong and it was decent his debut in the national team.

We have performed what we trained a week. In Scotland we await us totally different ball game. This rival will be forced to take a chance after losing to Georgia. They do not play so defensively as Poland. In the following days I’ll think about the game in Scotland. I already have a plan.

We know them very well. They scored a goal in the first dangerous attack, and it resulted from our mistakes. Their prices were not due to the quality of the Poles, but our mistakes. They were waiting for our mistakes, bad administration, which could capture. We could prematurely terminate the meeting.

Adam Nawałka, the coach of the Polish national team:

It is lost, and not defeat. Failure is when you do not draw conclusions. We lost to world champions, having more dicey situation than a year ago, when we won.

Tactical errors meant that we lost 0: 2, and things got difficult. Players were determined returned to the game, we brought to the state 1: 2. For the 70 minutes it looked good, putting pressure, we had chances to goals. Draw conclusions, we are moving in the right direction. Losses must learn.

Lukasz Piszczek has problems with adductor. Signaled and performed the change.

Tactical errors is the lack of safety net, on our right side rivals played ball a few times and ran just belaying. I do not want now to analyze who to blame.

We look at you. Already in June it was clear that the Georgians have noted progress, victory against Scotland is not surprising to us.

We had a very good phase of the game. At 0: 0 and 0: 2 lacked finish. We are not satisfied with losing, but the building was that the players were playing to the end. This team is making progress, but we still need to work on details.
