Can You Dye Emu Boots

profile Loew, the German recipe is the anti Maradona


"I know how to beat Argentina but I'll say only my players. " He already knew the outcome of the game before playing it. When he began his career as a coach in the youth of Winterthur, Joachim Loew, fifty Schönau im Schwarzwald Freiburg former striker, he knew that one day he would coach of Germany. A bit ' holy man, a little 'tactical, very pragmatic, certainly a gruff German soon as his boys who made the will to work, humility, indiscriminate trust in the strength of a National Youth game without favors on the eve of a World that saw it as a possible outsider and nothing more. The recipe that was low profile (or if you prefer Loew profile) and fits perfectly, not only at the phonetic level, with the low profile that was, until now, fill the rouge from Germany to South Africa 2010.

words always measured, never a decibel more than is necessary to search for a possible alibi for a possible defeat after losing one after another, as key players Rolfes, Adler, Ballack, Traesch e Westermann. Dimesso anche nel look, con quel maglioncino color carta da zucchero poco adatto ad addolcire quel suo sguardo da duro con la mascella serrata, impenetrabile per chi ha tentato di carpirgli qualche emozione. Missione impossibile. Un tipo che non bada alla forma e all'apparenza, dicevamo, come in quelle immagini che lo ritraggono intento ad esplorare le sue cavità nasali durante l'epico match tra Germania e Inghilterra. Questione di nervi da scaricare si è detto per un video che è diventato un cult della rete.

Ma Loew è molto di più. E' un maestro di vita, uno che guarda avanti e non indietro, uno capace di sintetizzare nel microcosmo di una squadra di calcio, con maggiore efficacia, the melting pot of ethnic groups in German society. Inclined to raise the added value of a people that by mixing different skills and experience has found a way to grow in football. A process that began long ago and that is bearing fruit now. Eleven players called up from Double-passport, including seven children of a Germany that they feel their blood and pride: Aogo, Boateng, Tasci, Khedira, Ozil, Marin and Gomez, a brood of young stars turn to naturalized Germans Klose, Podolski , Trochowski and Cacau. Mean age of 24.96 years, race, quality, willingness to sacrifice and discipline tactics. Many small Balotelli: a difficult task to make them all coexist and eleven for those watching on this side of Alpine Super Mario could annoy the sleepy calm of the Azzurri. A theorem which shows the inconsistency of those also, just to cite the clearest examples of France has revealed the limits of incompatibility of men from different cultures, without thinking even for a moment that the problem was elsewhere: technical, choices or attitude.

Loew has changed the mentality of Panzer double thread tying the reality of German football to the talent of new generations. A conviction acquired in his experiences as a coach in Stuttgart in Fenerbahce in Kalsruhe in Tirol Innsbruck and Austria Vienna. In its place are dynamic 4-4-2 offensive least four men (Ozil, Klose, Podolski e Muller) e Schweinsteiger che un mediano proprio non è. Una manovra ragionata, un gioco fluido e di ampio respiro sfruttando le fasce con Boateng e il capitano Lahm, una difesa arcigna e un portiere, Neuer, tra i più promettenti d'Europa, completano il quadro da incorniciare con un successo importante.

Il basso profilo, perseguito da Loew a Sudafrica 2010, non è soltanto un modo di essere, ma anche una tattica vincente. Joachim il duro insegna, per il momento i risultati gli danno ragione.
