Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has admitted that it wasn’t for the Nationalelf to play against a defensive team like Kazakhstan, but was nonetheless pleased with his side’s 4-0 win.

“The fans always want a spectacle, but it is not easy playing a team that drops back to within 30 metres of their goal. With such a lead, you can try different things, we tried different ways of passing the ball but it didn’t work out,” he was quoted as saying by uefa.com.

“The important thing was putting the match beyond doubt in the first half. We now have an eight-point lead and we are in a very good position. Our goal is to qualify as soon as possible.”

The Bayern Munich star then went on to point out that Germany have already convinced in the past as a force to be reckoned with at big tournaments.

“And we have shown in the past that we can put in top performances in a World Cup or European Championship,” he concluded.
