After the defeat against France, the descent from the Nations League threatened the German national team. However, there are five reasons, which is why there is hope for improvement. The break is initiated.
First of all: The 1:2-defeat in Paris against France, a historical Dimension: It was the sixth this year, so many defeats suffered, no national team, the DFB-history in a calendar year. A cycle, the to have beginning of the year, neither the experts nor the Fans can imagine. Nevertheless, there is some hope in the Nations-League-match against the current champion of shimmer on back to more successful times of the German Eleven will recognize:
National coach Joachim Loew shows for the first time, the courage to change
National Coach Joachim Löw
Five new players called by Federal coach Joachim Loew in the starting lineup. And this measure should pay off. Niklas Süle, Thilo Kehrer, Nico Schulz, Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sané brought those momentum, is also a member of the team last complete. Löw has responded. On the weak performances of his earned, but the form of weak veterans such as Thomas Müller. And probably also on the public pressure that culminated recently, more and more on Löw personally.
The break of the DFB-those responsible after the world Cup Disaster offensively announced, seems to be now much too late to actually be implemented. A playful solution approaches for a better chance of recovery has not been able to give Löw. This weakness remains. The national coach seems to separate from the old (champion) braids and to miss the team a long-overdue makeover. The performance principle seems to be back again in the foreground of the previous achievements of individual players.
The setting is again
Toni Kroos hits the 1:0 against France
Maybe it was the clearest evidence of this is that the passion was returned: After a loss of the ball by Leroy Sané at the opponent’s penalty area, Toni Kroos put on a long, drawn-out Sprint, trying to be the mistake of his team-mates to iron out. The offensive game designer, felt that in the past the games only in the slow trot had moved about the place, rolled up his his Sleeves and took the fight.
The young players, all of which could justify their set-up with dedicated services to the full, had apparently motivated the remaining Established to Kroos, to put more commitment and passion on the day. Topsy-turvy world with the DFB-Elf.
Flexible Tactics
Against the speedy French attacker Löw handle back on the Defensive on a five-man back line, instead of the usual four. But the previous post referenced the midfield and attacking players solidified their preparedness in the rooms, so much so that Antoine could develop Griezmann and Kylian Mbappé hardly their dreaded attack game.
The German team had the French to be largely in the grip. The two Griezmann hits were in the first line of the individual class of the attacker, and an unfortunate referee’s decision due. At the very solid appearance of the DFB-Teams, they were both hit but nothing.
The defense is again solid
Niklas Süle (front) would like to thank the Fans
Niklas Süle was more than a replacement for the current form of the weak, and the injured Jerome Boateng. Süle put the hardness and the quickness of the day, the Lack of a team, Indiana had last updated. In addition to Süle, the last also shaky active interior defender Mats Hummels felt considerably more comfortable. And Manuel Neuer, who had complained before the game about “lack of luck”, was able to show (not lost) Can in one-on-One against Mbappé.
The defense was again stable and resistant, and – in conjunction with the other team not to share dupe – by simply switching to the opponent’s game. This renewed team spirit prevented this Time, another rude awakening.
Unpredictable in attack
Timo Werner (R.) comes a step too late
Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sané, and Timo Werner have a turn with her appearance may be a time in the DFB-Team ushered. Even if the three young attackers not hit, managed from the game, so their Interaction was, however, hope that (goal) successes, quickly. All three have an extraordinary speed, frequently change positions, and to have the confidence dribbling, which make them unpredictable.
With increasing common time will improve their mutual understanding on the field. Their youth and associated low experience, however, it is necessary that you just place in the completion of a higher focus of the day. And that you are at the counter-more concentrated than Sané, whose screw-up, cross pass on Werner made the best Chance of a second German hit nothing.
