Gow: I don't care how Germany win

Low: I don't care how Germany win

The world champions have been in poor form since their triumph in Brazil last summer but the coach is determined to put that right on Sunday

Germany coach Joachim Low says he does not care about the scoreline in Sunday's game against Georgia, as long as his side win.
The world champions have struggled since winning last year's World Cup in Brazil, losing a Euro 2016 qualifier to Poland, drawing at home to Ireland and labouring to overcome Scotland.
They drew 2-2 in a friendly with Australia on Wednesday and travel to Tbilisi this weekend and Low is focused on putting the poor results of late behind them to ensure they do not fall further behind Poland in Group D.
"For us the three points are important, the scoreline does not matter," he told reporters.
"So first we have to wrestle the team to its knees and that's not easy. For Georgia, it's the game of the year, maybe even the decade, against the current world champions.
"The spectators will support the team. I expect a cauldron which we will have to withstand. The position is clear: we're lacking points in qualification.
"Now we have to take three points. It's an important game because we're falling behind the group. But I am convinced that we are in a position to win the game."
Low also confirmed that Bastian Schweinsteiger will make his first start for Germany since succeeding Philipp Lahm as captain following the World Cup triumph.
"I deliberately look him out of the XI against Australia. The line-up will be completely attacking."
