Löw Has A Master Plan For Euro Glory

With 159 days to go until Germany start their Euro 2008 campaign against Poland, trainer Joachim Löw has revealed his preparations have already begun and that he has a ‘master plan’ for glory.

“There is already a master-plan for Euro 2008” he revealed. “With the Confederations Cup in 2005 and the World Cup in 2006 we have experience of how to prepare a team for D-Day.” “A tournament is for players and trainers the measure of all things. A European Championships or a World Cup is like nothing else” he explained.

Since the draw, which pitted Germany with Poland, Croatia, and co-hosts Austria, the 47 year old trainer has been busying himself along with his staff preparing for the competition.

“We want to prepare like European Champions” he said. “We hope that important players like Torsten Frings, Michael Ballack and Bernd Schneider will be able to get in some playing time.”

Germany has arranged four warm-up games before the finals against Austria (Feb 6), Switzerland (Mar 26), Belarus (Mai 27) and Serbia (May 31).
