Loew remains in danger losing his job if Germany either fail to qualify for 2020 or perform weakly during the tournament and will be acutely aware that his newly-formed Germany team has to deliver satisfying results quickly.
Never before in his career as national coach Loew has been under similar pressure as in 2019. Many pundits demand the national teams' renewal should include Loew while fans seem to have lost faith in him.
Meanwhile, the German coach said changes are needed to secure future success, and painful decisions had to be made to address the requirements of modern football.
"We need to act with more determination and speed," the former striker commented. "We have to improve our game to meet international standards," he emphasized calling the German performance at the 2018 World Cup "too slow and uninspired."
Loew demanded more "cognitive training" efforts. Clubs and association have to modernize youth education.
Germany has been outpaced by other nations he complained.
The coach said competition is open including the race for the job as German number one. Loew underlined Manuel Neuer is currently "our number one, but he has to perform on a top level." He said Barcelona keeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen will get the opportunity to prove his skills shortly.
Ter Stegen recently said he intends to increase the pressure on his rival. "I want to push continuously until the national coach is choosing me as the German number one," the 26-year-old commented.
