Jose Mourinho: I think Germany can enter the playoffs and reach the semifinals
Jose Mourinho, England's "Manchester United" manager, who works for the 2018 World Cup, believes the German team can reach the semi-finals despite the defeat of Mexico at the first match. "Of course, the Mexicans were worth the victory, and the Germans - defeat. The "Aztecs" acted within their capabilities and invested 100% of their forces. But Bundesteam was very slow, quite predictable and taciturn. I think Germany can enter the playoffs and reach the semifinals, as its next opponents are not so dangerous (Sweden, South Korea)," said the experienced specialist. He also commented on Brazil vs. Switzerland match, which ended in draw (1:1). "Everyone believed in the victory of the five world champions, but that was a very difficult task. After the first goal it seemed that the Brazilians would develop success, but they made a gross mistake in defense and were punished for it. The Selesao defenders did not control the Swiss attackers individually, they were very passive, as a result of which the opponent managed to score a goal and record a surprise," said the Portuguese specialist.
