Joachim Loew carried forward the attacking game philosophy introduced by 1990 World Cup winner and the skipper of the Euro 1996 winning side Juergen Klinsmann. This new style of German football was widely appreciated and a major title would soon be theirs said critics. The year 2014 proved exactly that. Loew was frank to say that the target to win the World Cup started under Juergen Klinsmann.
