Loew not experimenting
Afp, Berlin
Germany coach Joachim Low says he will not bring in any new faces for the Euro 2008 qualifier in Cyprus on November 15. German Under-21 strikers Aaron Hunt and Mario Gomez have both impressed Low with their league form for Werder Bremen and VfB Stuttgart, but the coach wants to keep things the way they are for the final competitive match of the year. "We only have two training days available so it does not make any sense to integrate new personnel," Low said. "We want to build on our good position in the Euro qualification and crown a great year with a win." Germany lie second in group D, a point behind the Czech Republic, after a perfect three wins but must do without injured Bayern Munich striker Lukas Podolski for the Cyprus tie. "The alternatives to Lukas are obviously Mike Hanke and Oliver Neuville," Low said. "One of the two will partner Miroslav Klose in attack." Low has won all five games in charge of Germany since taking over from Jurgen Klinsmann who resigned after the World Cup.
