In Baku, Mueller (1) and Schuerrle (2) scored and Kimmich continued the good performances from the 2016 European Championships.

Over the years, the German national team has become something akin to a health spa as Loew seems to be able to cure all the ailments of the country's "problem" players. They then often pay back their "doctor's" special treatment with a performance that they are unable to find at their clubs - like Mueller, Schuerrle and Kimmich in Azerbaijan.

Bastian Schweinsteiger (now Chicago Fire) was having his troubles at Bayern Munich but was still Loew's key figure in the 2017 World Cup final against Argentina. Lukas Podolski (Galatasaray Istanbul) was named the team's mascot after he had failed to gain a breakthrough at Arsenal, Inter Milan or Bayern Munich. Loew still counted on Podolski' ability to stabilize the team's spirit and create a good mood even in difficult times.

Recently, Loew explained his point of view as he said he knows "exactly what certain players are capable of. When I'm convinced, I'm determined to guide them through hard times when they seem to have problems at their clubs and aren't playing much." Before departure in Azerbaijan Loew told Schuerrle and others that "it is important to show them in an emotional way that they are welcome here."

Players like Podolski, Mario Gomez (VfL Wolfsburg), Mario Goetze (Borussia Dortmund) and Mesut Oezil (Arsenal) often talk about the positive effect that their national coach has on them. Gomez disappeared from the fans' radar when he joined AC Florence and Besiktas Istanbul but was never forgotten by Loew.
