Germany Vs Portugal Worldcup 2014

Today at 12.00 Midnight Malaysian Time is going to be tough for Christiano Ronaldo and his Portugal Team. Portugal can expect extreme pressure from the German Team in the Match Germany vs Portugal tonight on Monday.

The Germans always prepare crazily for their opening games. Statistics show that Germany lost only one World Cup Opener so far. Germany won 12 out of their 17 World Cup Opening Games. The lost Opener was in 1982 against Algeria, and seems to be the exceptio to the Rule, that the Germans dominate Opening Games.

Germans Head Coach Joachim Loew announced their Game Strategy for the Group G Match: Germany will play high pressure and high tempo football to wear the Portuguese down in the Brazilian Heat.

Still the Germans show respect for Portugal and especially Portugals Star, Christiano Ronaldo. Loew called Portugal’s team the “world champion in counterattacking.”

Germans Head Coach said as well about Portugal:”They are ranked just behind us at No. 4 (Germany is No. 2), and they are not just about Ronaldo,” He insisted that the Germans need to be careful because “Portugal is an extremely dangerous team.”

The World Cup History Shows that so far Germany VS Portugal Games werent so lucky for Christiano Ronaldo and Team. In 2006 World Cup Germany won 3-1 for third place, they beat Portugal 3-2 at the European Championships and 1-0 when the Euro 2012 Campaign started.

Joachim Loew insists though: “Still, they keep on reaching semifinals. They are a hard nut to crack,”

Recently there is some concern about Ronaldo’s health and fitness as well. Portugal’s star player had a left knee injury before, but now it seems that he trains normally again.

Germans Head Coach warned about Fifas player of the year: “You can’t shut him down completely, he is a player who scores 50 goals a season,” The Germans prepared especially for Ronaldo in detail: “But we’ve watched a lot of videos, we know his running patterns, how he likes to lurk behind defenders. Loew is sure that: “It has to be a team effort against him.”

When the Germans arrived in Brazil, they had to fight with a lot of injuries. In the last press conference Loew seemed confident though: “The injury situation is getting better by the day and that’s why I am in a good mood,”

Still the mutliple injuries in the German team might force them to change their lineup Strategy Vs Portugal. German’s Captain Phillip Lahm is probably moving into a more defensive role in the middlefield after missing a lot of the training camps because of this ankle injury. Another Defenisve pLayer in the middle field is Sami Khedira who has also been injured on the knee for six month.

Borussia Moenchengladbach’s Marco Reus will also not play in the WorldCup. Miroslav Klose, Germans Striker will most likely be on the bench tonight. So we will be sure that the Germans will rely much on Arsenal’s Dream Trio Mesut Özil, Per Mertesacker and Lukas Podolski.

Good News for the germany national football team is that the Goal Keep Manuel Neuer and as well Bastian Schweinsteiger are fit to play. Those are both essential players for the Germans.

When it comes to the German Defense there will be Jerome Boateng most likely taking Phillip Lahms Place and defening against Christiano Ronaldo. Boateng did a very good job against Ronaldo in German Victory 2012.

Overall this is Germanys 100th Game in a Worldcup and they havent lost an Opener since 1990. Its going to be extreme tough for Christiano Ronaldo’s Portuguese.
