Paul Breitner Says Joachim Low Must Drop Mesut Ozil

Germany legend, Paul Breitner, says Joachim Low must be bold and drop Mesut Ozil for the semifinal against Brazil. Ozil has started all of Germany's World Cup games, while scoring an important goal in their 2-1 Round of 16 win against Algeria. And the former Bayern Munich and Real Madrid legend believes the Germans are playing with 10 men when the Ozil is on the field. "If [Low] is bold, he'll say: 'I will not play with only 10 people' and drop Mesut Ozil," said Breitner "That would be the next step for world titles and above all a big step for the good of the team. Nine men are torturing themselves for 90 minutes and he's going for a walk. "That's not what you do at a World Cup." The 1974 World Cup winner was also pleased to see Philipp Lahm return to fullback. He added: "He has seen what millions of fans have also seen - namely that we cannot continue with the defence from the previous games. "We needed a solution and Philipp is not only world class in midfield, but also in defence. Jogi Low corrected his error of judgement."
