Real Madrid’s star midfielder, Tony Kroos remarks before Germany’s Nation league clash with Switzerland that Low won’t make a U-turn on a crucial decision he took after 2018 World Cup.
Germany played a troublesome tournament in Russia by bowing out of the group stages. The then holders of the World Cup performed miserably. It forced Joachim Low to strike off names like Thomas Muller, Mat Hummels and Jerome Boateng from the national squad. Muller’s dismissal was much talked about at that moment.
