‘We can be on top of the world for years’ – Germany manager Joachim Low confident ahead of World Cup final against Argentina

 
Bullish: Low thinks Germany can dominate for years
Charlie Eccleshare12 July 2014

Germany boss Joachim Low feels his side can dominate international football for years, and says his team are excited at the chance of becoming the first European team to win a Latin American World Cup.

Low thinks the potential is there for Germany to win multiple titles - just as Spain did when they won three successive major trophies, starting with Euro 2008.

"We have players right now who are playing at their peak, but we have young players also in the squad and others who aren't even here," Low said.

"We have players with a fantastic future: Ilkay Gundogan, Marco Reus, Mesut Ozil, Andre Schurrle, Thomas Muller... they can go on to play for a number of years.

"We can play on top of the world for a good few years yet, with some young players coming in to reinforce the team."

The Germany manager was also bullish about his side ending the run of European sides faltering in South American World Cups.

"We know we can write history," Low said. "Latin Americans, on this continent, have dominated all the time. So why can we not be the first?

"This could be considered an additional joy for us if we were to win as Europeans on Latin American soil."
