Joachim Löw has criticized the German professionals and his colleagues for their behavior on and off the pitch. He sees “in Germany Players who fall at every physical contact and do not accept referee decisions, or coaches who are continuously with the fourth official. I don’t want that, I want respect for the sovereignty of the referee,” Löw told kicker.
As a coach you have to “pay attention to the game. Constantly pouncing on decisions – despite all the emotion – is definitely the wrong way and not the point of the game. The fans want to see fairness on the pitch and not this constant falling without fouling.” , emphasized the 62-year-old.
He is therefore “a Friend of the Premier League when it comes to behavior on the pitch, not about technique or tactics. Decisions made are accepted there. The game continues, there are few complaints, there is rarely a pack, physical contact does not immediately result in this fall and hardly any players who provoke fouls for themselves.” He saw on the island, said Löw, “honest football, fast, hard, but decent football. I always see the intention of the players to stay on their feet.”
