So I can’t understand the criticisms of Rüdiger today, because especially in the first half of the season he had to keep the tent more or less alone in the back. BOTH AVs were always in front and a Ginter was also moving a lot and always very far to the right, so a Rüdiger was alone on a wide front. In the second HZ it was much better, because the AVs were much lower, as expected, a Gosens did not look so good anymore, it is just an Ala Kostic lane player.
However, even in HZ 2 Ginter was too offensive for me, he played like a chain of three, in my opinion he only got better when Can took it in. When I was replaced, I was afraid that he would pick up exactly where Ginter left off, but then he held the position better and stabilized it remarkably. So much so that the commentator was already talking about a new formation.
Good post. You need to look carefully, not hit it blind.
Overall though, I think a Boateng would be good for central defense. Hummels too, if you want. One of the two like the boss back there, giving the orders. Of course, Kimmich is right when he says that all of this has yet to be implemented. That is definitely part of the defensive problems, that in addition to tactics, the personnel is constantly changing. However, I imagine that such an experienced player, whom others can orient themselves to, would directly bring more stability.
Boateng had a hard time. I also thought it was over. Then I realized that it was gone. It was a logical consequence. But it came back impressive.
Does anyone seriously believe that the defense with Boateng (or Hummels) would not be more stable? Nothing against Süle, Ginter, Rüdiger and Koch, but at the moment I don’t see any of them at the level of being the boss at the top in the back.
With Rüdiger I hope he finds a suitable new club and that he can play stable at the highest level. I’ve never seen him at his clubs since Stuttgart, but he must have stabilized since his time in the Bundesliga. Otherwise, I think the clubs would hardly have spent so much money on it. In the national team I am not really convinced so far. However, I find it unfair to attach that to you today. May your time come. I see many parallels with Boateng. Not only are they both Berliners, they have both already worked as RVs, sometimes even LVs, and sometimes had quite a few flaws early in their careers. I really only know Rüdiger from Stuttgart and in the national team, but I have the impression that he has not been able to turn it off completely. If I’m right: it’s never too late. But he urgently needs a new club, where he is a regular player with no restrictions and hopefully plays CL regularly.
In general, the national team is still in a development phase, I don’t see that too closely in the results. Sandro Wagner (not known as Löw-uncritical) has already formulated it appropriately at the Sportschau Club: you can’t bring the A-Elf in every one of these test games (and nothing else is). Load control. It is not realistic. The fact is, test matches are test matches. I’ve been following the national team since 1990. Really good test matches have always been few and far between. Even before Löw.
Spain is currently a bit similar to Germany. A lot is tested out there. De Gea and Ramos are the two constants. Both on the back, which guarantees good defensive security. That now closes the circle with my post. Boateng in the back. Or Hummels. I think that then one could expect more stability in general. Central defense really wasn’t the problem that needed to be fixed in 2018. And no one was incredibly forced to take over. Replacing the two centrals was too much in my opinion. Personally, I can hardly imagine that Süle / Ginter or Süle / Ginter / Rüdiger is the best German central defender for the Euro against calibers like France and Portugal (the two best teams in the world). Somehow I find it difficult to imagine the necessary stability.
I’m sure Löw will do the same. You will see it later. If things don’t improve, Boateng or Hummels will return. I can understand why you don’t do it right away. You have to give current central defenders a chance to prove themselves. Up to a point stop. I would definitely look forward to the international recess in November. Then you can analyze in peace.
