Rene Adler is Germany’s number one – at least in the top clash against Russia on Saturday. After Robert Enke dropped out due to a virus infection German headcoach Joachim Löw announced that Adler will keep the German goal in Moscow.
But Löw as well as Adler point out that this is no preliminary decision with regard to the widely discussed question of who will keep the German goal at the World Cup 2010 in South Africa.
”Adler keeps the goal in the two qualifiers because his performance absolutely convinced us. We don’t worry at all. He is very self-confident and we will see what happens after”, Löw says.
Adler himself does not yet think about the future. “Otherwise I would lose concentration and strength. I try not to think too much about it and focus on the match on Saturday. I try to show my best performance so that we will make the qualification. We travel to Moscow in order to win.”
"People expect a lot more"
On Saturday, Adler keeps the German goal for the seventh time. The keeper from Bayer Leverkusen made his debut almost a year ago – against Russia. Then, Germany won the first leg 2-1 and much has changed for Adler since that day. “Being a German international, people expect a lot more and you have more responsibility.”
Adler has three rivals fighting for keeping the German goal as number one. Next to Enke (Hannover) there are also Manuel Neuer (Schalke) and Tim Wiese (Bremen).
Adler scored with a good performance in the recent matches against South Africa (2-0) and Azerbaijan (4-0). And Adler, aged 24, could add some more against Russia and Finland on October, 14th.
But before, Adler doesn’t want to claim anything verbally. “On the pitch, this is where I act with passion and emotion”.
