German national team trainer Joachim Löw was left pleased with his side’s 4-0 win over Switzerland, which was a great improvement on their previous showing against Austria.

In their last warm-up game before the final 23 man squad is announced in May, Germany romped to a 4-0 win over Switzerland in their 800th international.

A double from Mario Gomez and one each from Bayern Munich strikers Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski downed the Swiss at the St. Jakob Park.

“I am happy in the main part with our performance” Löw said. “We were very concentrated right from the start and were well organised” he added.

“We played more intensively and more aggressively than we did against Austria, and we got a few answers to a few open questions.

“For some players it was a qualification game for the finals. Heiko Westermann played really well tonight. It was a very convincing performance from him.”

Two goal-hero Mario Gomez also admitted the improvement in performance was pleasing.

“It was an enjoyable evening. The last game wasn’t so convincing but tonight we showed the will and the competitiveness and were rewarded for that.”
