German style of play

[Milen1234]

I've gotten bored of the English league so i've tried to get glory with Schalke buuuuuuuuuuut i've never really watched the Bundesliga to see how they play over there. Could anybody give a brief summary so i can formulate tactics accordingly

I try to watch german football as much as i can. But dont think i see it enough to summarise it. Strong goalkeepers tho and quite physical I think.

uhhh, free kicks with some eiffel-tower-sized to head the ball. bad atittude, hard tackling, power playing..

german national team

how do you make the german national team available to manage and call up players?

The german game is more physical, and slower-paced than the Premier League, so high stamina, strength and fitness is a must.

Basically a league of 20 Bolton Wanderers. Attack is Looooooooong ball into box, headed by a 16 foot German, or rifled home from a 3 foot Brazilian on the edge of the box. Defence is basically push and shove each other off the ball, lunging into tackles here, there and everywhere.
