Joachim Löw justifies his Euro 2020 tactics following Jurgen Klopp’s criticism.
Germany head coach Joachim Löw has thrust a strong defense of his tactics at Euro 2020 following critique from Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
The Germans have played with a three-man defense and wing-backs throughout the European Championships with diverse success as they advanced from the ground-of-death with France, Portugal, and Hungary to set up a round-of-16 encounter with England.
Klopp revealed last week he was not a supporter of Germany’s set-up at the competition and holds their personnel are better suited to playing three in midfield.
And with the Reds manager not the only person in Germany distrusting Löw’s choice of system, the national team coach hit back when asked about Klopp’s opinion on his side.
“Every coach has a different philosophy and different ideas,” he said. “The system actually played on the pitch is not the decisive factor.

“Each coach, this is Jurgen Klopp, this is me, this is the England coach as well, they think about what is best for his own team and what is most important in the positioning in defensive work and attacking.
“The coach does what he sees, notices, observes with his team because the coach is next to the team and he decides the team can play differently as the English national team or as Chelsea.
“Every coach knows what the best is for his team and no coach would force his players to play in a system that they maybe don’t like to or maybe the coach is not convinced of.
“It doesn’t matter what a different coach says. Everybody has his opinion and can of course tell it but a match is decided by other factors. Not because of the system.
“I think this needs to be said clearly. There are other factors and other things that decide about winning and losing a match and not playing with a back three or a back four.”
