German Team discussing
Germans are currently ranked at fourth place in the table with 14 points. If they win Iranians twice, they will increase their points to 20, which will take them to the final tournament. To be more precise, they need two clear successes (3:0 or 3:1) against Iranians, who are considered to be very strong opponents.
Captain of German team, Jochen Schöps said: “We want to try to play there successfully. There will be a serious situation, since 12.000 people will cheer for Iranians intensively. We will go into the game to win it. Let’s see what happens.”
Schöps and Marcus Böhme have already played in Iran; both were in the German squad for the 2003 Under-21 World Championship.”That was a great experience for us, but now it could be little bit more aggressive mood in the game than usual.“
So far, in tournament will play automatically qualified host Argentina, Brazil that holds the recors in wins, the Olympic bronze medalist Italy, Canada and Olympic champions Russia, who is in second place at the time in Pool B.
