Ahead of Friday's Euro 2012 qualifier with Turkey, Germany captain Philipp Lahm has hailed his opponents' collective strength.
"There are of course many good individual players, but their greatest strength is certainly the team spirit," the full-back told reporters in a press conference. "That is, everyone is working tirelessly, from one to 11."
Notably, Lahm opted not to use the word 'teamgeist', a term often used by Germans to describe their own collectivism. Nonetheless, he did underline a fundamental similarity between the footballing cultures of both Germany and Turkey.
