After Nagelsmann took over the coaching of the German national team, the young manager has begun to show his strength, the German team has stopped its decline and began to develop in the right direction, and the coach began to build a German team of his own era.
Recently, the coach said in an interview that Gundogan will continue to serve as the captain of the German national team, and Neuer will not return to the national team as captain.
At the same time, Nagelsmann also said that he had spoken by phone with Neuer about the captaincy, and the two sides confirmed the decision in a friendly atmosphere.
Nagelsmann also praised Neuer's contribution as captain of the German national team, while saying that the team needs to develop, it must be changed and updated, and Gundogan has proven himself to be a suitable captain.
Neuer is not the first German national team captain to be seized by injury, when Ballack missed the World Cup due to injury, Ram became the interim captain and performed well, and then naturally became the official captain, although Ballack was unwilling, but his protests were drowned out by the public's praise for Ram, and Ballack also withdrew from the national team.
And the commander completed the transfer of power with only one phone call, and the soldier was bloodless, showing strong personal ability.
Although the coach had a big conflict with Neuer when he was in charge of Bayern and became one of the reasons why the coach was removed from Bayern, the coach's deprivation of Neuer's captain's armband was not considered a retaliatory move, because Neuer has missed a long time due to injury, and it is difficult to guarantee good form and attendance in the future, changing the captain is a necessary means to stabilize the team, and the coach just has the courage to step up and complete it.
Neuer's stripping of the captain's armband has a positive effect on the German national team, which will stimulate competition between players, and the German team is more open in the use of personnel in the goalkeeper position, Neuer is no longer a regular starting goalkeeper, he also needs to compete with other goalkeepers for playing time, which is obviously conducive to the healthy development of the German team.
Although Neuer was once the world's number one goalkeeper, the goalkeeper technique he created profoundly influenced the development of football tactics and made an indelible contribution to the national team and Bayern, but injuries still prevented him from continuing his glory, his era has passed, and even if he returns from injury, fans no longer expect much from him.
