The World Cup group stage has basically come to an end. The 2014 champion German team was eliminated in the group and failed to break out of the death group. After the game, some fans "angrily accused" the Spanish team of losing to Japan and causing the German team to be eliminated, but in fact, the fundamental reason for the German team's elimination lies with them. Losing to in the first game to in the Japanese team and drawing to the Spanish team in the second game both made the German tank lose the initiative to qualify. So, from winning the Cup in 2014 to failing in the group stage in 2018 and 2022, what is the reason for the German team's slump?
1. The tactic of abandoning high center forwards is outdated. From Loew to Frick, the German team's favorite formation is the frontless formation, which does not play high center forwards, and relies on ground passing and cutting to penetrate the opponent's defense line. However, for intensive defense, this tactic of the German team is difficult to work. The opponent is full of defenders in the penalty area and there is no room for footwork. The German team only has Phil Kruger, a high center forward in this World Cup, but they only came on as a substitute and did not get enough opportunities. But "ironically", the life-saving equalizer against Spain came from Phil Kruger.
You should know that the teams that shine in this World Cup are all about high centers. For example, the French team, Giroud is the fulcrum center in the penalty area, so Griezmann has enough space to organize the attack, and the impact of Mbappe and Dembele on the wing is threatening. Like Brazil, Risarisson and Jesus can be used as high centers; like Portugal, C Ronaldo and become stronger. Including the German team eight years ago, there is also the World Cup No. 1 scorer Klose . Therefore, the lack of a high center forward is the main reason why the German team was eliminated.
2. Do you trust the players of the "Bayern Gang" too much? Bundesliga class dominance Bayern Munich is one of the best clubs in the world, so the German team also prefers Bayern players. For example, this World Cup, Sane, Muller , Kimmisi, Gnabry , Mushara and Gretzka and other players were elected as the main players. But are these some of the best players in Germany's offense? In fact, it may not be possible. Neither , Brandt , and Gotze, who are in good shape this season, have gained much chance.
Use data to see that the German team scored 6 goals in this World Cup, and the opening game was Gundoan , Manchester City players; the equalizer was Phil Kruger, Werder Bremen players; the battle of honor Chelsea players Havertz scored twice, Phil Kruger secured the victory. Only Gnabry scored one goal in the Bayern gang, and the efficiency of such a goal is too low.
3. The death group itself is difficult to qualify. The German team is in the same group as Spain, Japan and Costa Rica, and is considered a group of death, and the German team's strength is not enough to rank first in the group. In addition, the German team underestimated the enemy. The replacement of Gundogan early in the game against the Japanese team caused the midfield to lose control, and they could only swallow the bitter fruit of the loss by themselves.
No matter what, the German team is a traditional football team after all. Perhaps the team elimination of the two World Cups will make them learn from their mistakes and launch another attack on Hercules Cup in the next World Cup.
