The German coach said it is his team's obligation to "again light the fire" and satisfy fans' expectations. To strengthen the team's discipline Loew has reintroduced a nightly curfew. Germany is facing a restart and it is naive to think the relationship can be repaired in only two games.

After France this Thursday, Germany will take on Peru on Sunday evening in a friendly. The German team went through intense discussions about their tactical approach and their general performance.

Loew emphasized that a mixture of established performers and youngsters will do the job. The newcomers Nico Schulz (TSG Hoffenheim), Thilo Kehrer (Paris St Germain) and Kai Harvertz (Bayer Leverkusen) will get a chance in the next two games to prove their skills.

As for the new team tactics, Loew announced that the left and right back will change their roles and won't operate as far forward as before. "We will interpret the role of several positions differently. Defending the goal and not allowing any space for our opponents is one of the main tasks," Loew said.

The German coach said he does not mind the pressure being on him. As a national team coach pressure is always a constant factor. "The pressure does not affect me and is not throwing me off track," Loew stressed. He said it is important to admit mistakes and afterward look forward and face new challenges.

Like Loew, Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos emphasized the need to change the tactical strategy. "We had to learn that our type of football is maybe not the most successful anymore. But not only we had to learn that but also Spain, Argentina, and other big football nations," Germany's footballer of the year for 2018 commented.
