BERLIN, Sept. 5 -- Ahead of Germany's curtain-raiser in the newly-formed Nations League against France, Joachim Loew has praised the outstanding quality of the 2018 world champions.
The 58-year-old said the French style is an example to follow for the 2017 World Cup winner after its early group exit in Russia. France was the best team over the past two to three years Loew said.
"They have the best balance in all parts as well in their defense and attack," Loew emphasized.
The coach announced his German team will adjust its tactical system and use key parts of the French strategy. The entire team is expected to defend without neglecting their attack. Loew said French football is a shining example when it comes to a dynamic transitional game.
"Like no other team, France manages to get the right players into the right spaces. They deserved to win the 2018 World Cup," Loew commented.
France was ready for a major title, Loew said despite having lost the 2016 European Championship final to Portugal. "They were ready in 2016, and after all, they won the title in 2018," Loew said.
According to the German coach, Germany is no longer "always the big favorite". The former striker said the role of his side has changed. The German team has other matters on its agenda. "We know we have to deliver better results. We are aiming for Euro 2020 and want to make up for the disappointing performance in Russia," Loew continued.
