Yesterday's form picked up, 4 games to get 3 good form, but unfortunately the German team failed to beat Costa Rica, and finally out of the group, it is too uncompetitive, today I will talk to you about the problems of this German team.
Germany beat Costa Rica 4-2, but Germany were eliminated from two consecutive World Cups, and in four and a half years Germany can be said to have set their own floor.
A lot of people think that Spain and Japan are playing Germany to death, but I don't see it that way, I think it's a pure suicide for the German team, and the whole World Cup process is a suicide.
After the first loss to Japan, I wrote an article titled "The German team is self-inflicted, but now my summary of the German team's World Cup will still be described in these 9 words.
Against Costa Rica, we analyzed the qualifying situation very clearly before the match, Germany needs to win by two goals, and Spain does not lose to Japan, Germany can qualify; Alternatively, if Spain loses to Japan, Germany will need to fight for at least seven goal difference like Spain. But I think Germany also wanted to play a high intensity in the early days, although they established a one-goal lead early, but we didn't know what Germany was playing for the remaining half hour.
In the front court we can see that the German team is 5 people lined up in turn, but there is no clear structure position, 5 people are occupying space with each other, Sane has to adduct inward, Gretzka will press, Musiala needs to hold the ball, Thomas Muller also needs to receive at the top of the arc in the box, the result is a very suicidal passing style of play in Germany, and the two central defenders often press the half, which is not protected on the back line.
Costa Rica were one of the weakest teams of the tournament and were not very capable of counter-attacking, but Germany's several defensive errors at the end of the first half gave their opponents a sense of play. Germany was slow to score the second goal, but kept making mistakes to give the other side opportunities, after the start of the second half, Costa Rica quickly scored two goals, then the next game is a white-knuckle battle, although the German team hit the post twice in a row, but the overall kick is too chaotic, the whole tone is not good, I believe that the German team can establish a larger score advantage in the first half to put pressure on Spain, so that Spain can not easily lose the game.
Phil Kruger had previously proven that he could help the team and was the most needed centre-forward for Germany, but Frick used Thomas Müller in this game, but Thomas Müller's header in the 8th minute was deflected in the absence of defense. I think from Frick's line-up to his football philosophy, it makes people feel like they are changing soup with Lewby.
Germany lost to themselves, with 26 shots on goal in the first game against Japan, only JD Dong An scored on penalties, only to be reversed by two players from the Bundesliga in 8 minutes, and the game was completely out of control after 70 minutes. In the second game, Germany Spain had a good second half, but Germany did not take advantage of the chance in stoppage time, but Frick played three backs that game and was also trying to keep one point. Overall, I think that in these three games, the German team is interpreting self-inflicted sins.
If the German team does not have a fundamental change in football philosophy and coach position, then it will still waste more 2, 4 years or maybe more.
