Joachim Low: "We will Do Everything to Take Three Points from Tbilisi"

German national team’s head coach Joachim Low said at the press conference before the match against Georgia that taking 3 points is more important than the score. The press conference took place at the hotel “Radisson Blu Iveria”.

Jochim Low: “Thank you for sensitive welcome. Yesterday, many Georgian fans of Germany came to the hotel. It is known, that Georgian-German football has a good relationship. Iashvili, Kobiashvili, Tskitishvili played in my hometown Freiburg. Klaus Toppmoller was the Georgian national team’s head coach for 2 years. After the last year’s failure in the qualifying circle, we will do everything against Georgia to take 3 points. I believe this will happen. We know very well that the Georgian team can play in defense. The Georgians played draw with France and against Spain missed the only goal. Therefore, we have to work a lot in attack”.

-German football players were claiming in the interviews that they will beat Georgia with a big score. Is this depreciation of the opponent?

-Winning will not be easy. We need to take a lot of effort for 3 points. Football players of the Georgian national team play for Europa League, Italian “Empoli”, clubs of Moscow. In fact, as I said, I know that all the tickets are sold and a large number of fans will be on the stadium. We also have to deal with these great energy.

-What role does Bastian Schweinsteiger have for the upcoming match?

-He will have a leading role. All forces will be concentrated to the attack, as the attack has a crucial role.

-What tactics you play in the future match?

-Playing system has some importance. When we played a friendly match with Australia (2:2), the opponents were in attack all the time, because they had nothing to lose. The main thing is personal distribution and using spaces.

-Are the players in form?

-They feel good. Hector Jonas hurt his shoulder in the match with Australia, but now he is ok.

-After the World Championship, Lahm, Klose and Mertesacker left the team. Have you managed to replace them? Is this a reason that the team cannot play in the qualifying circle confidently?

-I cannot say that this was the reason. It is good when you have such players, but we are trying to replace them. They were older and that’s why they left. We experienced new players against Ireland and Poland.

-I had a dream that tomorrow will be draw 1:1. My dreams usually come true. What was the dream of the German team’s head coach?

-It would be a nightmare for me. We will do everything to take 3 points.

At the press conference, one of the Georgian fans gave 2 specially made plastic balls to Low.
