25/6/2006 10:48
Germany head coach Jurgen Klinsmann said yesterday after their 2-0 win
over Sweden that his team is ready for the quarter-finals.
"It's working like
clockwork, and we're already looking forward to the quarter-finals. That won't
be our last match, we're only just getting hungry now," Klinsmann
said.
Striker Lukas Podolski scored twice in eight minutes to give the hosts
the victory and a quarter-final berth. Klinsmann was very satisfied with the
result.
"We're extremely satisfied and proud of each and every one of our
players," he said. "Watching this Germany team was a true delight, especially in
the first 30 minutes. I honestly can't remember the last time a Germany team
played football like that.
"We prepared very well for Sweden, and our tactics
were perfect. We scored our goals early on and we kept on creating
chances."
He added: "It's all working out for us - we don't even have any
injuries."
