Well-known Russian journalist Alexei Andronov explained the reasons for the failed performance at the 2022 World Cup by the German team. Recall that the German national team at the World Cup in Qatar failed to qualify from the group, losing the fight for the first two places to Japan and Spain.
Alexey Andronov“In 2014, Germany won the World Cup. In the next two out of six matches, she won only two. Naturally, this is a powerful fiasco.
The stories are completely different. By the 2018 World Cup, Joachim Löw was rapidly losing control of the team, she herself was disturbed by the scandal surrounding the photo shoots and speeches of Mesut Ozil, and there was an element of inflated self-esteem (after winning the Confederations Cup in 2017). It seemed that that slap in the face to the Germans was enough ...
The history of Germany's failure now is primarily in the unpreparedness of the coach and his schemes and composition. Germany shied away "from ditch to ditch". The tournament was started, for example, by defender Schlotterbeck (who made more accurate passes in the first half than the entire Japanese team). But then he sat down in reserve. Center forward Füllkrug came out and played well - and also back to the bench. For the last match, the defensive midfielder Kimmich went right to the defense. Gotze was taken to the tournament, but released in only one match. What was it all about? Lack of preparation (lack of gathering before the tournament).
According to statistics, the departure of Germany is an accident. In practice, this is yet another proof that not numbers play football, but people, and the implementation of what they have created is important. Without it, football is dead, ”Andronov quotes sovsport.ru.
