The German national team threatened before the duel with the champion of France in the Nations Cup of the descent. However, a player, coach and President of talk of the crisis nicely. The DFB-bubble will soon burst, says Joscha Weber.

It is just a number, but it is emblematic of the crisis of the German national team: 4.70 ratio is at a large European bookmaker, if you bet on a German victory in the game with world Champions France on Tuesday (from 20:30 hrs CEST in the DW live stream). In the case of a bet on a defeat just once 1,70 euros for a Euro bet and other betting providers, it is similar. As bad as it is now the bookmakers saw the DFB-Eleven a long time and you are not alone.

If the self-image of the caricature

After the 0:3 defeat in the Netherlands there were a bunch of cackling Fans in the stadium, gloating on Social Media and criticism in the media. And what do the Stakeholders say? “We have made a good game. We have nothing to reproach ourselves for,” was the defensive stalwart Mats Hummels and put one on top of it: “We are the Best in what we do.” And striker Timo Werner added: “We have shown that we play the football have not forgotten.” In many ways an impressive view.

As the German Eleven for the fifth Time, losing in the tenth game this year (only three Victories), since it is presented by a young Dutch team is partly tactical, as it is hailing, then criticism – and what you hear from the German team? Everything’s great! Of due to. In front of national coach Joachim Löw a mountain of problems piled on: blatant statements weaknesses, appalling defensive errors, a lack of imagination in the game design, lack of courage, in a row form a weak champion, even a mark of profound goalkeeper. However, the DFB continues to live in his bubble. It is still pretty good. The players respond to stubborn to criticism (only a few gave errors), the coach trusts more the forces, which failed at the world Cup in Russia, the grandiose, and the President calls out in a continuous loop by holding slogans. Anything Negative is the only approach from the outside to the Team. Probably even the goals against.

If you change nothing, nothing will change

The German national team experienced its most severe crisis since the inglorious Era Ribbeck, anno 2000, but the Parties don’t want to have come true. It is a kind of escape from reality, engages in the DFB camp. After the crash the world Cup-were promised change, but nothing happened. Nothing. Neither personnel, nor tactical, nor structurally – nada. Instead, Löw and Grindel act in accordance with the Merkel’s More-so principle and are thus just as the Chancellor in front of a shambles of their actions. Before the match against France, the descent into the second League, the new UEFA Nations League is threatening Germany. A real endgame for Löw. His Team loses against the champion of the world, will burst the bubble. And the Bang you will hear even the DFB.
