team, which, perhaps, among all the contenders for victory, there is the smallest number of questions. Leo had a great team through the qualifying round, in a friendly match, the Germans pokazyvaayut confident play in the group are a clear favorite. Even the absence of some important players should not overshadow the German national team for world championship …

OF

Team Germany can only sympathize. From such an abundance of injuries has not suffered any other party to the South African mundialya. Judge for yourself. In winter, left main opornik team – Simon Rolfes. The next – Rene Adler from the same “Bayer” and that Simon – goalkeeper, who had promised bundestrener goalie jersey with the number 1, and a place in the starting lineup. The third best player dropped the German national team the last decade, a leader and team captain – Michael Ballack. In the last match of the season he moved into his feet, Kevin-Prince Boateng – Boateng's older brother Jerome, who is present in the final list of the German national team. Then – even worse. For 2 weeks before the primary defender broke his leg Bundestima – Heiko Westermann, who is also still able to play and opornik, and even attacking hava. Plus, it deprived the team of Leo very good players – Torsten Frings and, of course, Kevin Kuranyi, the newfound Dinamo Moscow. And who was Joachim – we look to you now …

Goalkeepers:

Manuel Neuer 24, 5 games (0 goals), “Schalke 04″

Tim Wiese

28, 2 (0), “Werder Bremen”

Hans-Jorg Butt 36, 3 (0), “Bayern”

After an injury

Adler coach decided that the basis will be the Manuel Neuer. This guy just had an amazing season, which got to “Schalke” with two dozen points. His backup will likely be Tim Wiese Werder from, and close a slender structure goalkeepers – Hans-Joerg Butt. Goalkeeper “Bavaria” is experiencing its second youth, and would love to see him in the fields of South Africa, but from behind it hardly will Noyer. All the players experienced last season defended firmly, and I think, the problems with this position will not be.

Defenders:

Marcell Jansen 24, 31 (2), “Hamburg”

Arne Friedrich 31 72 (0), “Gert”

Dennis Aogo 23, 2 (0), “Hamburg”

Seidar Task 23, 12 (0) “Stuttgart”

Holger Badshtuber 21, 2 (0), “Bayern”

Philipp Lahm 26, 65 (4), “Bavaria”

Per Mertezaker 25, 62 (1), “Werder Bremen”

Jerome Boateng

21, 5 (0), “Manchester City” (England)

much more of a problem in this line. As Westermann broke Levu have to break a head – who put in a protection center in a couple of Mertezakeru? Most likely, it will Seidar Tusk from Hamburg, but can and Arne Friedrich as a freight train with Bosnia. Still, the combination of Frederick – Mertezaker – Tusk – Lam for the team more familiar combination, and the only question is which of the young have more confidence – Badshtuberu or TASK. Both are talented defender and had a good season for their clubs, but the Task has more experience of games for the team. This could be a decisive factor in his favor.

Midfielders:

Bastian Schweinsteiger 25, 75 (21), “Bayern”

Piotr Trochowski 26, 31 (2), “Hamburg”

themselves Hedira 23, 5 (0), “Stuttgart”

Toni Kroos

20, 4 (0), “Bayern”

Mesut Ozil 21, 10 (1), “Werder Bremen”

Marko Marin 21, 9 (1), “Werder Bremen”

Germans recently switched to playing 4-2-3-1, abandoning the 4-2-2. However, this scheme is very vulnerable, as Rolfes and Ballack injured, but refused to Frings, Schweinsteiger then the couple – Hedira no alternative. I am glad only that both in great shape, and yellow cards do not often get. However, in case of injury or disqualification of one of them to be a lot Levu smash his head, who is opposed to their zamenit.V opornikov, with the attacking trio of players no problem. Trochowski, Kroos, Marin, Ozil plus “polunapadayuschie” Muller and Podolski – two person in the place! And when you consider that almost every one of them can play at a neighbor's position, a lot of options. Is that the place left behind him staked midfielder lukas podolski, who plays a lot better team than in the “Bavaria” and “Cologne”. With the rest of the positions of no confidence, and so I think that Leo will be shuffled depending on the composition of the opponents during the game, etc.

Forwards:

Stefan Kiessling

26, 4 (0), “Bayer”

Lukas Podolski 25, 73 (38), “Cologne”

Miroslav Klose 32, 96 (48), “Bayern”

Thomas Mueller 20, 2 (0), “Bayern”

Cacau 29, 8 (3), “Bavaria”

Mario Gomez 24, 34 (12), “Stuttgart”

This same pattern (4-2-3-1) makes us wonder – why Joachim Levu how many attackers? World Cup travel four pure strikers, who at other positions do not play – Gomez, Cacau, Klose and Kisling, and two players who can play at the point of attack in case of need – Mueller and Podolski. Surely, if we take into account a number of forwards, we can conclude that Leo keeps in mind to return to the 4-4-2 option. Otherwise, why it was necessary to take many forwards? Selection of main striker Levu be difficult. Klose, his main strike force, had the weakest season of “Bavaria”, Gomez it was not too basic, Kiesling, and plug in the German championship for the national team has never scored, and Cacau barely got a passport, so teamwork with partners poyavilas.Skoree hardly likely, Leo will be chosen depending on the opponent. Wants to speed – please, he's got Kaka, need the power – Mario Gomez, and then little by little else – Miro Klose, who scored 10 goals already in the world championships. Well, Kiesling will reserve role, no matter how badly he had no championship.

COACH

Joachim Loew is known as an excellent tactician and motivator. These qualities perfectly evident at the dawn of his coaching career – in the late 90's in the “Stuttgart.” Then his team won the Cup before the country and dshla Cup Winners' Cup. And after 6 years, not after the most successful voyages in the tour, and Austria, Leo got into coaching team Klinnsmana, which led the Germans to bronze mundialya home. Following the resignation of Jurgen, Leo took over the team, which broke through at Euro 2008 and won a silver medal on him. And the selection for the coming mundialyu Leo set up perfectly, “German car” at the result.

HOW TO GET THERE?

The Germans had a strong

selection, edging out the second place Russian team. 2 draws with the Finns nuisance “Mannshaft” did not. Superbly played the team in attack – 26 goals scored, and the defense – only 5 goals, 4 of which scored the Finns, and one – Arshavin. Without any problems, leaving behind no other than the Russians and Finno also Welsh, Azeris and representatives of Liechtenstein. Excellent performance throughout the qualifying showed Klose and Podolski.

Bear in mind …

Germany squad in recent years, brings together not only the German nationality. So Podolski, Klose and Trochowski – ethnic Poles, Ozil and carrying – the Turks, Aogo – Nigerian Boateng – Ghanaian, and Cacau recently changed his Brazilian passport into German. Because acutely the question arose whether these players sing the national anthem of Germany. Lion on the subject is liberal and allows players to make choices, and honorary president of the “Bavaria” Fyrants Beckenbauer advised players to still perform the anthem to rally the spirit. Will the players sing the national anthem? We shall see very soon ….

1st place in the group. The presence of the group, Australia, Ghana and Serbia should not call into question the claims of Germans to the output from the first place. There may be loss of points, but in a reasonable amount. And in the playoffs Germany capable of much, until the victory of the tournament …
