As the saying goes: "You will have to pay it back sooner or later." In the early hours of this morning, in the UEFA Europa League match, Germany suffered a 0-6 defeat to Spain. After suffering the biggest loss of the national team in 89 years, the fans were the first in their minds. This sentence flashed past.
In the 2014 World Cup, Germany beat 5-star Brazil 7-1 in the semi-finals, and beat Argentina 1-0 in the final, smashing the two major football powers in South America. Throughout the tournament, Germany remained unbeaten with 6 wins and 1 tie, scoring 18 goals and conceding only 4 goals and a margin of 14 goals. It won the World Cup for the fourth time and became the first European team to win the World Cup in America. There was no difference in the limelight.
But never thought that this World Cup has become a watershed for the German national team. Four years later, the World Cup in Russia, Germany stopped the group stage with 1 win and 2 losses. Among them, a 0-1 loss to Mexico and a 0-2 loss to South Korea are surprising.
But it's not over yet, after that, Germany's performance in the competition has been declining. In the 2018-19 UEFA Europa League group stage, Germany had 2 draws and 2 losses without a win, and was finally downgraded from A to B. In the UEFA Europa League this season, Germany's performance has not improved much, with 3 wins and 4 draws in the first 7 games. After being beaten by Spain with 6 goals, doubts arose about Loew. The voices of the German media are basically the same: "The German Football Association can consider substitutions"
Indeed, with the current state of the German national team, by next year's European Cup, I am afraid it will not go too far. But who is more appropriate? Of course different people have different choices.
Bayern star Matthaus gave his own suggestions in an interview with German Sky Sports. He believes that the only person who can succeed Loew is Klopp.
"When you discuss potential candidates for the German coach, there is only one person everyone wants in the future, and that is Klopp. He is very successful, personable, and popular with fans and the media. But he His work in Liverpool is far from over. He will have time to join the national team in a few years.” Z1z
Matthaus’s suggestion is actually very reasonable. Among the current German coaches, Klopp is indeed a very dazzling one. . His achievements in Liverpool are obvious to all. In just over 4 years, he brought a long-silent giant back to the highest stage in Europe, and won the league championship again after a lapse of 30 years, the first Premier League championship. Klopp has the ability to quickly inject his own tactical ideas into a new team, and his strong personality can also fully stimulate the players' potential.
But Liverpool fans certainly don’t want to see Klopp’s departure. Therefore, to Matthaus’s suggestion, the Reds fans responded: "Flick is good, let him try."
Flick? This is of course a good choice. To some extent, he is even a better candidate than Klopp. Frick's experience is quite amazing. He replaced Kovac as Bayern coach midway through last season, and then led the team to rebound all the way to win the Bundesliga title and top the Champions League podium. His coaching ability is unquestionable, and his tactical concept is more suitable for German players.
At present, many players in the German national team are from Bayern. Gnabry, Gretzka, Kimmich, Zule and Neuer are all core players of the national team. And Frick also served as an assistant coach for the German national team for 8 years. He was one of the founders of the German national team's glorious time and left after the 2014 World Cup.
Of course, there are many other famous German coaches, Rangnick, Tuchel and so on. Love will not resign, but the German Football Association will not change coaches before the start of the European Cup, we will wait and see.
