We could always speak about sporting and personal issues and he also influenced the team with his conduct, Loew said.Schweinsteiger made his Germany debut in Kaiserslautern on June 6, 2005 in a 2-0 defeat to Hungary. He scored both of his first goals in a 2-2 friendly draw with Russia on June 8, 2005.In Bastian Schweinsteiger a really great one is leaving the national team, German football federation president Reinhard Grindel said.
