Five Star Ranking

Germany (pronounced JER-ma-nee) are know in real life as a football superpower, however in previous versions PES they sometimes struggle to match their so called "super" rivals such as France and Italy due to, mostly, a lack of pace and a weak defence. However since their licensing they seem to have been stated in one of the top nations in the game. Every PES game up until PES 2010 Germany had never been licensed and had all players listed under fake names therefore creating duplicates of their counterparts playing for clubs sides. Their home strip is white shirts, black shorts and white socks, while the away strip is all red.

Tactics & Players

The Germans are most effective using a 4-4-2 formation with a midfield diamond. Tim Wiese is recommended over Robert Enke due to being more reliable. The defence is weak and therefore registering the missing Christoph Metzelder is a must. The midfield picks itself with Torsten Frings as the holding midfielder, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Piotr Trochowski on the flanks and Michael Ballack as the playmaker. Miroslav Klose is a definite for one of the striking berths while either Lukas Podolski or Miroslav Klose fills the other depending if you wish to have pace or aerial ability.

Squad

Since PES 2010's license over Germany the squad has been considerably revamped with former stars for the nation not appearing for the national side. These include, Timo Hildebrand, Kevin Kuranyi, Oliver Neuville and Christoph Metzelder. Aswell as new faces such as Serdar Tasci, Andreas Beck and Marko Marin.
