DFB-Team: EM-based well

Germany needs to drive after a good performance against France to get home. Overall, the DFB-Eleven is playing a good tournament. Joachim Löw knows what he still needs to work.

Friendly Joachim Loew smiled for the cameras, waved and then climbed into the Bus. The fatigue was the national coach. According to the
0:2-defeat in the European championship semi-final against France, the DFB Delegation was on Friday morning, on the way back to Germany. In doing so, you would have remained a few days longer in the host country. And with the performance, especially in the first half, it would have been the champion of the world, also deserve to be in the European championship final in Paris. “Losing the semi-final of a European championship is always bitter. And 0:2 after this game is of course not a fair result,” said goalkeeper Manuel Neuer after the departure. “Overall, We played a good EM but we are excreted. This is bitter.”

Löw has done a lot right

Black series against Italy ended

Looking back on the championship, the transparent new statement to the Fans and players. Germany played a great tournament, has increased further and with the victory against Italy, finally, a decades-old defeat end of series – a heavy Trauma to the defeated, may say some. Löw has managed to respond to difficult situations most of the time correctly, has been able to outwit the opponent with surprising lineups often, and for the necessary looseness to the world champion. With its laid-back nature of the national coach is not only impressed by the journalists at the base camp in Evian-les-Bains. His players swarmed regularly by your Trainer. No matter what criticism came up, Löw bounced everything. The world champion Coach has contributed with its kind of safe to the success of the DFB-Elf at the European Championships.

Gomez leaves a big gap

The defense worked – no matter what the composition – solid and had hardly any opponent’s chances. Especially Jerome Boateng proved once again that he is one of the best defenders in the world. Also with the nomination of striker Mario Gomez, Löw has done a lot of things right. The attacker played his best tournament for the DFB and achieved his goals. Gomez was always play ready or moved to the opponent’s defenders out of position and allowed his playmates in this way, good chances to score. The injury of Gomez and his associated early EM-revealed, but also the great weakness of the national team. It is an adequate striker-replacement of missing!

So much of Thomas Müller, not on the advice of Joachim Löw, also struggled, it was his EM

The often-discussed “false Nine” has ignited this Time. Neither Thomas Müller, Mario Götze’t able to play in this tournament she is capable of. Neither of them was able to achieve out of the game a hit. Just Muller had hoped, the coach of the team. However, to Express criticism of the Bayern players, would be too much, because Müller has worked like no other for the whole team. The same is true for Mario Gotze, who played under his possibilities, but also many wide left, and the team began. Julian Draxler and Andre Schürrle held back by scoring goals.

Sports Director Hansi Flick is required

In two years the next final round. In Russia, Löw wants to defend the world title, if he is still coach of the DFB selection. A possible resignation, he did not want to comment after the game against France. By 2018, the DFB has now time, the “problem” of the lack of offensive power. At this point, especially sports Director Hansi Flick is in demand. He needs to find, in cooperation with the team of trainers fresh attacker and in the national team. Not an easy task, because the managers have refused for a long time on the development of such game types. But anyone who has watched the national coach and his Team the past few years, you will find that Löw has always found solutions. Not for nothing, the game was on Thursday night, the fifth semi-final in a row under his leadership.
