Joachim Low, who led the German national team to victory in the Confederations Cup without the main country's football stars, believes that it is harder to compete in this tournament than in the World Cup.
The German team, composed of young players, demonstrated in the 2017 Confederations Cup that they can win important titles without stars like Toni Kroos, Mesut Ozil, Jerome Boateng, or Manuel Neuer. The Germans defeated Chile in the final with a score of 1-0 and became the champions of the tournament.
Low praised his team and stated that this victory will go down in the history of German football.
"This victory means a lot, as Germany has never won this tournament before," Low said at a press conference. "This team's victory will go down in history. The players absolutely deserved it, and we are all very happy."
"This tournament is more difficult than the World Cup," the coach boldly expressed.
One of the German leaders, Joshua Kimmich, had good words about the tournament and his team: "I am proud of this title with the whole team. No one expected too much from us, and we showed that we can defeat strong teams."
