After Klinsmann and Mateus faded out of the German national team after the 1998 World Cup, Oliver Schwarzkopf. Bierhoff briefly took over the captain's armband, but with the relatively late start and age of the national team, the air bully can only be regarded as a transitional captain. In 2002, the 35-year-old Bierhoff announced that he would hang up his boots the following year due to his old age, only to serve as a substitute.
Bierhoff spent less than 6 years in the national team, captaining for 2 years
The goalkeeper Kahn, who followed Germany to the 1998 World Cup, gradually began to become an indispensable core player of the team at this point in time, coupled with his experience of being selected for the national team as early as October 1993, which also made him a veteran of the team, with on-field strength and team qualifications, and it seems reasonable to wear the captain's armband after a bunch of big players have left.
Kahn led Bayern and Germany to glory
During the 1994 World Cup in the United States and the 1998 World Cup in France, Kahn was only a spectator, failing to get a minute of playing time. Having been waiting for an opportunity, he finally took over the main position left by German goalkeeper Koepke after 98 years. Through the experience of the competition in the past few years, Kahn has become more calm and domineering, and Bayern's invincibility in the Bundesliga during that period has made him a star player in the attention of the public. Finally, at the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, coach Rudy. Waller officially appointed Kahn as captain of the German team, a 32-year-old veteran goalkeeper.
Kahn won the "Golden Glove Award" and the "World Cup Golden Ball Award" at the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup
Meanwhile, Barack, who is a full 6 years younger than Kahn, only started playing for Germany in 1999, and the World Cup in South Korea and Japan was his first time representing the team in the World Cup. But with his unparalleled strength, Barak has won the title of German Footballer of the Year three times from 2002 to 2005, which is the limelight!
Barak rose quickly and broke through
In August 2004, manager Klinsmann announced that Ballack would replace Kahn as the team's new captain, and Kahn would be the vice-captain. At the same time, the privileges held by the former captain Kahn in the past few years will be abolished, and he must accept the rotation system. This is also believed to be the fact that Barack was supported by Klinsmann and Kahn's position in the German team plummeted, and it is reported that this incident caused the Lion King to have a serious gap and further intensification of contradictions against the Golden Bomber.
Faced with the rise of Barack and the pressure from Klinsmann, Kahn had no choice but to accept
At this point, Kahn could do nothing, because the incomparable strength of coach Klinsmann made no big star dare to make a mistake. At the same time, because Barack at this stage is also quite mature, the super efficiency of scoring 20 goals in 44 appearances for Germany in his international matches for Germany makes Kahn have to choose to bow his head. At that time, more than two-thirds of the players of the German team agreed with such a captain's adjustment, which shows how deep and crowd-based Barack's rise is, and any justification in the face of absolute strength is pale. At this time bayern, Kahn is the captain, and Barack is the vice captain, vaguely remember bayern at that time almost let the two exchange, but in the end for the sake of stability did not make such an adjustment, if it is really changed, Kahn is really embarrassed.
Barak took Kahn's captainship
The era of the German team belonging to Ballack officially began, and this appointment lasted until May 2010, when Ballack's ankle ligament was torn and Ram was born, the captain was replaced. At this stage, Ballack's role in the German team can be described as extremely outstanding, and it has to be said that In the position of captain, Barak's work was very well done.
Barak is considered one of the most iron-blooded captains of the German team
The next issue will bring fans the football past of Ballack's accidental injury that caused Ram to "take advantage of the chaos" to wear the captain and refuse to return, welcome to pay attention!
