Joachim Löw has announced some tactical changes on the offensive for the second EM group game.
"Tactically, we have to bring something else into play, that means more offensive power," said the national coach on Friday.
The national coach left it open before the match against European champions Portugal on Saturday (6 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker for the European Football Championship as well as on ARD and Magenta TV) whether this would also involve new appointments in the starting eleven.
"You can make tactical changes with the same formation, but you can also make some changes," noted Löw.
Defensively, no changes are necessary, the stability was right in the first tournament game.
After the 0: 1 at the start of the European Championship against world champions France, the German national soccer team is already in a tight spot.
Portugal won their first match against Hungary 3-0.
"The pressure is unchanged," said Löw nonetheless.
But you have to keep the key in your hand through results: “Everyone can handle the pressure.
I've known him for 15 years.
The pressure won't overwhelm us. "
Like France, Portugal is a top opponent and a high-quality team. "Portugal is not a one-man show by Cristiano Ronaldo," emphasized Löw. “What I feel is a determined mood and an attitude of absolute will. Everyone knows that we want to and have to and will do some things better, ”emphasized Löw. Above all, it is about more dynamism and precision on the offensive. "That doesn't mean that we want to storm the stadium for the devil."
