Joachim Löw’s crisis management is becoming routine, his development work has been mercilessly destroyed by his old rival Spain. And there is no time for a turnaround before emerging markets.
Seville. Joachim Löw feels lonely after the 0: 6 debacle in Spain. The special midfielder of the German national team had not even left Seville when Löw was bombarded with penetrating questions and clear demands, including those to resign. The DFB head coach, who is still searching for answers, can expect tough days at home.
How should things go in the direction of the European Football Championship? Really without Thomas Müller, Jérôme Boateng and Mats Hummels? The dark cloud over the German national team, which DFB manager Oliver Bierhoff saw before the biggest loss in 89 years, has turned into a low hurricane due to the disastrous appearance in Andalusia. But Löw did not speak of separation or separation. The 60-year-old takes serious trouble with him on a four-month winter vacation.
“We have to work on that in the coaching staff for the next few days. What are the correct conclusions that we have to draw now? ”Löw explained. Your crisis management is already becoming routine. As after the 2018 World Cup, Löw will retire as a footballer emeritus.
The return debate
Löw is unlikely to include the ongoing theme of the return of the world champion trio Müller (31), Hummels (31) and Boateng (32) in his first analysis catalog. His posture had not changed after the six Spanish blows to the neck. “At the right time” he wanted to decide on the much debated issue. The 60-year-old made it clear that it has not yet reached him despite numerous demands from former national players such as Lothar Matthäus, Jürgen Klinsmann and Bastian Schweinsteiger. “Confidence is not completely affected at this time. This young team also has the ability to develop so that we have a competitive and high-performance team. I am absolutely convinced of that ”, was Löw’s incredible commitment to the Umbruch-Elf.
Löw knows that he cannot moderate the return of the dead alpha animals within the team. Who should you remove from your starting eleven? Niklas Süle? Leon Goretzka? Leroy Sané? The generational conflict already ruined the mood in Russia two years ago. And the old men wouldn’t come back for a seat on the bench. Record keeper Manuel Neuer banned the debate. “It’s a bad time to talk about players who are not after such a defeat.” It would be wise to communicate and implement a return only from another team leader.
But would the trio over 30 in Seville have helped? Even the new player, who was left alone in his record game, and the invisible Toni Kroos, who were still former active world champions, could not avoid disaster. And Müller, Hummels and Boateng were also among the disappointments at the 2018 World Cup.
Time runs against Löw
The wounds of this 2018 World Cup trauma, which have not yet healed, have reopened. Rather than celebrate the group victory in the Nations League as a symbol of a return to the highest level of competitiveness, Löw stands in front of the ruins of his critically accompanied development work after the sinking in Andalusia. Mercilessly destroyed by old rival Spain. And that’s just seven months before the start of the European Championship. The first opponent on June 15, 2021 is world champion France.
The DFB leadership ruled out Löw’s resignation or firing on Wednesday, the German press agency learned from a reliable source. However, the question arises whether the Löw-Bierhoff duo still has the necessary reform force after 16 years of association. The alliance of the critics of the boulevard and the old international will not shut up in the short term.
