Four goals not enough for World champions Germany: Coach
Berlin: Germany manager Joachim Low was critical of his side’s performance despite strolling to a comfortable 4-0 win over minnows Gibraltar in the 2016 Euro Cup qualifiers.
Thomas Muller scored twice before Mario Gotze and a Yogan Santos own goal sealed a comfortable win in Nuremberg Friday.
The victory lifted the World champions, from third to the second spot in Group D of the qualification round, level on points with Scotland and the Republic of Ireland with seven points from four matches.
Germany had lost and drawn their previous two games and were criticised for their below-par performances.
“I am everything but satisfied with this. The team did not do what we wanted to do. We wanted to play as world champions and four goals are too few,” Low said.
Gibraltar, UEFA’s newest member nation, have lost all four qualifiers and conceded 21 goals without scoring but coach Allen Bula was delighted with his team.
“It’s a great result and we really needed something like this 0-4, I could not have asked for more,” he said.
Poland won 4-0 in Georgia to maintain their three-point lead at the top of the group.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
