Loew to lay down the law

AFP, Berlin
Germany coach Joachim Loew will on Monday lay down the law to his players after last month's public spat with captain Michael Ballack as die Mannschaft prepare for the friendly here against England.
Germany and England will meet at Berlin's Olympic Stadium on Wednesday night, but Loew will gather his squad at their city centre hotel to spell out what is acceptable behaviour after last month's bust-up with Ballack.
During the 30-minute speech, Loew will leave his players in no doubt what is - and what is not -acceptable behaviour over the next 18 months on the road to South
Africa with his side top of their qualifying group.
"It will be a clear and frank address," Loew told German tabloid Bild on Sunday.
"It will not be a debate nor a discussion.
"I want to make it absolutely clear how I imagine the run-up to the next World Cup will be - and exactly what I expect from the players.
"I believe that they will take my words on board, they will not need a written copy of what I have to say."
Having taken over as Germany head coach after the 2006 World Cup, Loew faced by far the biggest test of his tenure when Ballack and fellow senior player Torsten Frings openly criticised the national coach last month.
Frings slammed Loew on televi-
sion for dropping him for the World Cup qualifiers against Russia and Wales, while, in an interview with a German newspaper, Ballack said the coach should show his senior players more respect.
The pair later apologised in person and both will miss the England friendly, but Loew has said he wants to use the game to experiment with younger players.
But the coach's authority has been questioned after an episode in which no party emerged with any credit.
"That is a question of the respect," said Loew when asked about Ballack and Frings.
"We have in principle a good relationship with one another.
"But these incidents moved the national team into a negative light.
"That does not mean I am above criticism, quite the opposite -1 am
even glad when someone says something to me internally."
After Ballack and Frings' criticisms, Loew has reiterated he will not consider a player's reputation when choosing hisside and current form is his sole criteria for selection.
"It is of no concern what someone has done before," said Loew.
"We will observe players and only after watching their performances will we decide who plays.
And Germany squad members can expect stringent testing throughout next year as Loew revealed he was far from happy with some of the fitness levels at June’s Euro 2008 tournament which the Germans lost in the final to Spain
"Some things were neglected," ' said Loew.
