In a previous article, I mentioned that the four generations of the German team have blessed German football for 50 years. Among them, the representative of the 90 generation is the recognized "Golden Bomber" Klinsmann. When fans today talk about the best German striker before Klose, it's basically nominating Klinsmann, and at most some nominating Bierhoff. Including in the coaching career, everyone believes that Klinsmann's drastic reform of the German team in 2006 is the basis for winning the Hercules Cup in 14 years, and it is estimated that everyone has forgotten his failure during bayern coaching and the failure to coach the American team. However, Waller, who was Klinsmann's contemporary, was completely forgotten by the fans.
A few old fans say that Worrell is the shining line in the German football honor book, I don't know why, his strength and great achievements are rarely mentioned, but people who really understand the ball know his greatness and know everything he does for German football. In terms of strength, Waller's center and winger positions can be played. Although he was often affected by injuries, his left foot technique and tactical running awareness were particularly outstanding. Waller, who was not affected by injuries, was one of the top center forwards in world football at that time. Waller debuted as a centre forward, but it was also the era of German football forwards, and Waller, who was originally better at the center position, had to switch to a second striker in the 90s World Cup – in order to make way for the younger, more handsome and more star-like Klinsmann. I remember that the CIS at that time was still very strong, and Italy was eliminated by the CIS in the group stage. It is said that Italy has always been afraid of such a team as the Soviet Union, when the Soviet Union was a high-speed tight siege technique, especially in the semi-final of the 88 European Cup, Italy lost its armor, when Worrell and the famous CIS defender Kuznetsov collided and were injured, and then Bremer took over the captain, which shows the status of Worrell in German football at that time.
Personally, I think Klinsmann has no advantage over Worrell in his playing career, except for being taller, more handsome, and more lucky. In Worrell's coaching career, the former national team manager, who has now been forgotten by German fans, almost became the second Beckenbauer – winning the World Cup as both a player and a coach. In fact, Worrell was only ordered to lead the "worst German team in history" to win the runner-up of the 02 World Cup, defending the dignity of German football at the bottom of the valley and bringing confidence and hope in the dark years. In fact, in 2002, the German team was very close to the Hercules Cup, and the opponent in the final, Brazil, seemed to be strong, but the German team was fighting with them. Now mention the outstanding coaches of German football, either Beckenbauer, or Klopp and the like who are "on the market" at the club, but few fans mention Worrell.
Personally, I think that Waller's foot skills are actually a little better than Klinsmann's, the level of striker who can play in the small World Cup at that time is definitely not bad, dali's defender at that time, whether personally or in the auxiliary defense organization, even Maradona was afraid of three points. It is this German best striker whose contribution and achievements are no less than Klinsmann's, because of his personal characteristics and idol temperament, he has not caught up with the good times of star-making, so it is easy to be forgotten by fans. Of course, Worrell's luck is also a little worse, if he can win the 2002 World Cup situation is also different. Today, Worrell has gradually faded from bay Not only German fans, but also world football should also give the "forbidden area fox" a position that matches its strength.
