Germany go into their third and final warmup game in search of getting
their first win of the Summer.
Germany face Armenia this week in hope of finally picking up a
victory, with their previous two warmup games last week finishing in
draws. Low's side played out a 0-0 draw with European nation, Poland,
as well as being involved in a fascinating goal fest, which saw the
Germans draw 2-2 with African nation, Cameroon.
Entering their final warmup game, it's vital that the Germans pick up
a needed win, with the morale evidently low within the squad. Momentum
is a key element during the World Cup season, and the European side
will be aware to put things right before jetting off for Brazil. It's
crucial that the players pick up sufficient minutes in order to regain
their fitness, but they'll be wary not to pick up any injuries.
This game represents Germany's first international friendly since
their 30 man squad was reduced to 23. Armenia will take this game
vastly serious, with this being their 3rd encounter in the last 11
days. Armenia last faced Algeria at the weekend, with the African
nation running out the victors, in a one sided 3-1 game.
The German boss, has spoke about the conditions he expects in Brazil,
prior to the game against Armenia. "We gave them a lot of information
(about the conditions)," he told the German Football Association
website. "But they have to feel it locally."We will fly out early,
(and) simulate the competition situation by training in the midday
heat, or at the kick-off times of the games."
Finally, Low spoke about this being the potential final tournament
for German legends, Lahm, Klose and Schweinsteiger. Low added:
"Bastian Schweinsteiger and Philipp Lahm have won the UEFA Champions
League and many national titles. "They already have more than 100
international caps and so many positives for German football. "They
all have already had great careers but a world title would of course
be the crowning glory, so to speak, the icing on the cake."
