'Germany more complete than Spain'

Brazil head coach Mano Menezes has heaped praise on the quality of the Germany national team, stating that it is a more complete package than current world champions Spain.
The 49-year-old tactician has come under fire of late after watching Brazil crash out of Copa America in the quarterfinals at the hands of Paraguay.
Menezes has vowed to improve the quality of the team, but a 3-2 defeat against Germany and a 1-0 victory over Ghana have given the fans very few reasons to rejoice.
The coach conceded his side are still far away from what they have been in the past, and stated he believes Germany are currently the best national team on the planet.
"It is necessary to recognize Brazil are no longer playing the best football in the world," he told Veja. "This is nothing new. At the 2010 World Cup we were behind Germany, who for me are the most complete team, even more complete than Spain.
He added "Germany has always been very methodical and almost perfect when it comes to tactics, but they lacked the ability to solve matches. This gap has been brilliantly filled by players such as [Mesut] Ozil, [Thomas] Muller and [Bastian] Schweinsteiger."
Menezes lamented that, contrary to Germany, Brazil will have to go through a quick period of transition for the upcoming World Cup, but stressed he still thinks he can turn the team's fortunes around.
