Just a phase

Andi: (sees Marc-André's social media post) Oh, no...no no no!

Oliver: What is it, Andi? (Andi thrusts his gadget to Oli, who takes one look, understands then closes his eyes in commiseration) I see. Mein Gott!

Andi: (goes pale) Are they...are they being *affectionate* with one another?! I...I can't, Oli...I simply can't! (buries head on his hands in horrified resignation) Do something! *Anything*!

Oliver: Hmm... Maybe this is just a *phase*? Persistent antagonism to each other can be exhausting, at times...

Andi: I'll take the antagonism than...than THIS (shakes his head vigorously) This...this is what my life has come to... WHY?!

"The pupose is to bring the title back to Germany"

Since Sunday, the semi-final opponent of the German national team at Euro 2012 is known in Poland and Ukraine. On Thursday (from 20.45 clock, live on ARD) meet the team coach Joachim Loew in Warsaw to Italy. A nemesis? "No," replied goalkeeper coach Andreas Kopke, "we leave the past and want to write our own history."

In the EURO 1996 England was still Koepke himself on the field, as it in the final group game for a place in the knockout phase came. Held with a penalty against the goalkeeper Gianfranco Zola saw as an important step on the path towards European title.

On Thursday could always better in the tournament-find Mesut Ozil slip into the role of match winners. "If we get what we can," said the midfielder of Real Madrid, "we will beat the Italians."

"Statistics do not interest us"

It is one of the less pleasant statistics German football history: Neither a world-even in a European Championship could defeat Germany Italy ever. Not a good omen for the clash in the semifinals? Kopke not impressed with this series, however: "Statistics do not interest us," said the goalkeeper coach and just points to the strengths of their team - and the chance to break through such a series.

Into raptures Kopke device, however, when he thinks of the porters, who are still represented in the tournament in the semifinals: "Gianluigi Buffon is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, it's great that with Buffon, Iker Casillas and Manuel Neuer, the world's top goalkeepers. the semi-finals are without trying to create a ranking list, who is the best. "

Fail to provide the deeds of a shine to Buffon, Kopke has not, however: "We have enough quality in the offensive in order to achieve against any goalkeeper in the world to score," said the former international goalkeeper.

"Penalties can not train you"

Specific share of the Italian catchment had the semi-finals alongside playmaker Andrea Pirlo and Buffon, who was successful with a lob from the penalty spot against England goalkeeper Joe Hart and so caused a stir. "Pirlo has played a good game, then this cheeky penalty, in which he has shown nerves of steel," says Koepke. "He was the best player of the Italians, who had before the tournament is really on the list."

What would happen if the classics again on Thursday for the penalty shoot-out would be? Kopke holds the training of this specialized discipline little "... Penalty shoot-practice, brings nothing you can not simulate the pressure situation in practice, one applies mostly without problems I that might have as a player not particularly, but we have a nerve-strong team.."

"We're more mature and consistent than in 2010"

Whether or not a penalty shoot - Ozil and the DFB team to reach the final on Sunday (from 20.45 clock, live on ZDF) in Kiev. "Our goal is to bring the title back to Germany and I believe we can do it," says the 23-year-old. "We are more mature and consistent than 2010 and were very well developed."

His own performance, he was able in the tournament increase steadily - and so it is in the semifinals continue: "The coach and I are satisfied with my performances, particularly from Greece, I'm happy that I checked what I can do this has.. the team supported me very much. But I still room for improvement and it will show against the Italians did. "

"Schweinsteiger is an important leading player"

Ozil also emphasizes the importance of Bastian Schweinsteiger: "We need Bastian, he is a key leading players, world class," said the midfield colleague from Madrid. "It is important for the team." On the opposite side next to Buffon and Pirlo to come, especially Mario Balotelli this role. To get it under control, could be a key to victory: "Balotelli is a class player with a strong conclusion," said Ozil. "In him we need to make."

The role of favorite in the semi-final sees Ozil at all, but self-confidence when defending champion: "The Spaniards are the reigning world and European champions, you have to prove to anyone anything more you are in the semifinals and are the biggest favorites for the title..."
