Coach Hansi Flick promises to 'excite fans' with new style of play as Germany eye redemption post-World Cup

Firstpost  

Berlin: Coach Hansi Flick promised Germany will play “a style and manner of football that excites the fans” as his side continue their post-World Cup redemption against Belgium on Tuesday. The four-time World Cup winners were dominant in defeating Peru 2-0 in a friendly on Saturday thanks to two goals from Niclas Fuellkrug in their first match since their disappointing early return from Qatar. Flick however admitted Belgium would be “another calibre of opponent” and could give Germany a chance to assess their comeback. “They’re one of the best teams there is a good opponent to measure ourselves up against.” West Ham defender Thilo Kehrer said Belgium would “play strongly” and would be “more dominant than Peru”, meaning his side needed to “show what we can do” on Tuesday.
