Low: Lahm will play in midfield against France

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Joachim Low has confirmed that he will continue to utilise Philipp Lahm in the Germany midfield ahead of their upcoming World Cup clash with France. The Germany captain has played most of his career a full-back but has increasingly been deployed in the centre of the pitch for both club and country. Low, acknowledging the debate that this has fostered in Germany, dismissed suggestions that he could be swayed from his existing plans, and emphasised that he has decided upom Lahm's role for the rest of the World Cup. "I took my decisions and that includes Philipp Lahm's role - I stand by it until the end," the 54-year-old told Die Zeit. "Lahm will only play as right back in case we have a case of emergency on the right wing during the match. Then I'd say: 'Okay, now this is Philipp Lahm's task, he can contribute to the pressure going forward.' But we have to avoid a case of emergency."
