Effenberg: The German team is losing their creativity, they are losing the hearts of their fans

Live Bar November 18 news In a European Championship qualifier at 3:34 a.m. Beijing time on November 17, Germany defeated Belarus 4-0 at home, and Güntel, Goretzka and Kroos (2 goals) respectively contributed to germany. This victory also allowed Germany to advance to the main european championship 2020 with one round left in the qualifiers.

However, one victory did not solve all the problems that the German team currently has. Attentive fans may notice that Germany has chosen the home of this round of European preliminaries as prussian park, but there are a lot of empty seats in the stadium when the game is played. The home of the Bundesliga team (Borussia Moncheng), the national team matches, the Germany with a strong fan atmosphere... These prerequisites make the appearance of large open spaces very eye-catching. Recently, Bayern star Effenberg also mentioned this matter in his column, and he also shared his views on the current situation of the German team with fans, the original text is as follows:

Hello fans!

The German national team is now in a period of reconstruction and growth, which has an important link with germany's poor performance in the World Cup in Russia. Their performances were not enough to attract the fans, and now we can only hope to see more performances in the Champions League.

If, as in Saturday's match (Germany's 4-0 win over Belarus), nearly half of the seats on the pitch were empty, that was telling. I didn't watch the game in its entirety either, I only watched it for 25 minutes before going to sleep.

First of all, I think the creativity of the German team is gradually being lost. As for what the team shows on the pitch, it is all the templates and routines learned at the youth center, the players are like routine, their creativity and free play space are gone. When I was a player, someone once said to me: That's your position, you need to be creative, in that position you must do something, you just do what you want! But now, we don't see these things in the players anymore. There is also a sad fact: after the World Cup, we did not get close to the fans again. If not even public training is held, the situation will only get worse in the future.

Under the leadership of former presidents Grindel and Nilsbach, the DFB has problems and the public has noticed this, so the distance between the national team and ordinary fans is getting farther and farther away.

As a result, fans gave up watching the national team game. Then, if a fan is faced with kick-off time at 8:45 p.m., he will say, "No, I have more important things to do, I have my own responsibility, I have my own wife, I have children... So I chose not to watch this national team match. ”

At the same time, the choice of fans is very rich, and we also have the Champions League. For me, the Champions League is a quality game. You can't find anything in the national team game, but you can choose what you like, like going to see a game like Bayern against Tottenham Hotspur, and I'm looking forward to finding something exciting in a game like this. If so, I would also give up watching Germany play against Belarus.

Finally, I personally feel that the German Football Association is now focusing more on commercial activities (rather than on a competitive level), and I don't know if this is appropriate.

Your Stefan-Effenberg
