Just Draw: Again not a DFB win over bogey team Italy

Revenge missed not recovered against bogey team Italy: The German national football team broke up yesterday in Dortmund 1:1 (1:0) from the four-time world champion and now 16 years since it waits for a victory against the Azzurri. Miroslav Klose (16) had scored the DFB-team in the lead, Giuseppe Rossi was the equalizer (81).

"The pace that we had at the beginning phases, we can not implement more than 90 minutes, as we had done that. In the second half we also failed to invest a bit, so much that we make it 2-0 ", said Germany coach Joachim Loew. National Team Rate the German players! The players were not happy.

"It was certainly not perfect," was the Dortmund Mats Hummels. And Bastian Schweinsteiger added: "In the square we could not play to our offensive strengths Sun We are a team that thrives on technology and speed. We could not show it. "" We can be happy with the result but we know we can play better, "said Miroslav Klose, his 59th of the International goal scored.

"We played in the first half very well. We can be happy with the performance would have, but all preferred to win. I collect with experience and enjoy it every minute to play in the team, "said Mario idol. Italy's coach Cesare Prandelli: "It was a very good game my team. That was the best performance since I took office.

We have played against one of the best teams in the world and beat us very well. We have tried from the beginning, to apply pressure and achieve a goal. We are still not on par with the German team, but we could close the gap. Long gone the year of the biggest football festival in Germany had fallen as much as before this match.

2006, again in 2006, as if stuck there remains a thorn in the flesh would hurt or at least a badly healed wound. Five years ago, Italy finished with two goals in the semifinals of the German summer fairy tale, and at the same place the old rivals met each other again. But it had changed a lot since that legendary summer, when Germany discovered his lightness and love for their team once again flared up as the floodlit evening in Dortmund.

The gate in front of the legendary South Stand the balls of the Italians were then taken, and in the final they had then defeated France on penalties. Then it went downhill, until the proud Squadra Azzurra last summer in South Africa to leave as a group had the first round last. Germany was already four years earlier as a third party, however, impressed the world with superb attacking football.

The signs were therefore reversed, and the eternal outsider Germany, who won only seven of 29 duels was allowed to make reasonable hope that at least a little aufzuhübschen statistics. As has been the last game against the Italians again in Dortmund was played, had something of Yin and Yang: At the site of the most bitter defeat and also the home of new German football miracle, where the Bubis regularly from Borussia Dortmund in accordance with its national role model to the youth cult .

indulge Five of the disciples BVB coach Löw had asked the home game, but not called into the starting lineup. The talks, however, for the coach, away from the familiar populist thinking that all permanent staff who had gained his confidence in South Africa. Only in the central defense and varied he could accumulate Holger Badstuber instead Arne Friedrich.

The former Hertha was missing his new employer VfL Wolfsburg but also because of an operation on the disc throughout the season so far. Loew and should not be disappointed. After the Italians in the first quarter of an hour seemed quite willing to provide basic minimum level apology for his own fans, they were in the 16th Minute from a German genius surprised.

Mesut Özil got the ball on the inside right side and ran it as a flash with a hoe in the box that the otherwise stable defense of Southerners are opened like a door. Thomas Mueller came in, but instead conclude, as he called out to the 60,000 fans (or at least the German fans), he put across in the middle where the ball past goalkeeper Miroslav Klose steered past Gianluigi Buffon in goal.

A move like magic from yogis primer. It remained, however, the only magic moment before the break. This was due to the fact that Italy is still a serious football team. And second, it exaggerated the Germans but then sometimes with the gimmicks. Thus, Thomas Müller tried in the 39th Minute after a counter in a complex through-pass, rather than simply to play across the onrushing Schweinsteiger.

And the guests? Daniele de Rossi beaten in the 37th Minute, the fists of goalkeeper Manuel Neuer with a sniper shot. Otherwise, the tactic was predominantly Italian in it, theatrical and unjustified penalty claim - just before the break, four times. After the break it was tough, what can be observed in a test game often.

After all, Loew brought the Substitution of the Dortmund Mario Idol again mood in the grandstand, which was not completely sold out with 60,000 spectators. The German fans enjoyed the game, while the Italian guests were nevertheless still cheering the equalizer. In the 81st Giuseppe Rossi minutes escaped his marker Per Mertesacker.

While Manuel Neuer repel the first shot from close range could still, he was at the margin chance. The compensation was earned and educational. The German team will have to learn to take games too seriously, even for 90 minutes.
