Rarely has the national coach been so clearly criticized!
After the 3: 3 friendly against Turkey, already the third consecutive draw, the record national player Lothar Matthäus took national coach Joachim Löw to his chest.
In the image The captain of honor roared: “Again, Jogi Löw’s tactical errors in the changes cost him the victory.” For Matthäus it is also clear that “in Germany nobody turns on the television because” there are many players like Nico Schulz who sit on the bench of their clubs.
Löw-Schelte von Matthäus: Are you right?
The accusation of incorrect invoices:
The accusation that Löw was giving false impulses from outside arose after the 1-1 draw in the Nations League against Spain on 3 September.
Rather than provide relief in the last third of the offense, Löw decided to replace two defenders. Matthias Ginter came for Leroy Sané (63º), Robin Koch for Timo Werner (90º + 1).
As a result, there was disorder in the DFB defense due to numerous changes. The counterattacks were not possible either, so the Spanish managed to equalize late (90. + 6).
The defensive changes were the subject of criticism within the team. “I wish I had more players up front to ease the pressure,” Julian Draxler said.
On Wednesday night against Turkey, eight outfield players sat on the DFB bench, including five defenders and three central midfielders. Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Jonas Hofmann was still the most offensive reservist. Löw could hardly replace offensive power.

In the 59th minute, Hofmann came for Draxler, Jonathan Tah was able to prove himself in place of the weak Antonio Rüdiger. Two changes that made sense. At that time it was 2-1 for Germany.
“We wanted to take down Rüdiger and Draxler after the break because they will be needed again on Saturday,” explained Löw.

In the 70th minute, Robin Gosens replaced Schulz, who was also weak. The Italian legionnaire started Luca Waldschmidt’s 3-2 lead (81st). This change in position was appropriate.
Mahmoud Dahoud made his DFB debut in the 79th minute and replaced striker Florian Neuhaus at the venue. Another one-to-one change. It was 2: 2, a few minutes later the Löw-Elf took the lead for the third time.
Löw made full use of his transfer quota (“We wanted to make the most of it”) and brought two more players into the game despite the advantage. The fact that defender Niklas Stark replaced central midfielder Julian Brandt (85th) should not have been the case, as it was the third change in center and that created disorder.
With the offensive substitution of Nadiem Amiri for Kai Havertz in injury time, Löw wanted to take time off the clock. Turkey drew decisively in the 94th minute.
SPORT1Bottom Line: Five of your six changes are understandable. Löw could have left him with four substitutions to avoid further changes and disturbances.
The charge of relying on reservists:
Löw had announced that he wanted to test some things against Turkey. The Bayern stars were deliberately saved, as were Leipzig’s Toni Kroos and Marcel Halstenberg.
Against Turkey, Löw added 20 outfield players to the team. 17 of them were used.
Nine of them are regular players at their clubs: Bernd Leno (Arsenal), Emre Can (Dortmund), Robin Koch (Leeds), Neuhaus and Hofmann (Gladbach), Havertz (Chelsea), Waldschmidt (Lisbon), Gosens (Bergamo) and Stark (Hertha BSC),
Draxler recently worked in a permanent position at Paris Saint-Germain. However: seven players who played Wednesday night are currently only on the bench or permanent reservists in their clubs: including Rüdiger (Chelsea), Nico Schulz, Brandt and Dahoud (Dortmund), Benjamin Henrichs (Leipzig), Tah (Leverkusen) ) and Amiri (Leverkusen).
This is noticeable on the field, because many players lack practice, ingenuity and self-confidence, which is what the German game suffers from.
Loew said of the reservist’s indictment: “There are different views. I also wonder if three games make sense at this stage. On the other hand, you use this to give some players a chance to gain experience and perform for attention. For young players, this is a platform where they can learn. “
This is apparently only appealing to a certain extent to German soccer fans. Only six million viewers watched the game on Wednesday night on average. With a 21.4 percent market share, the game was the weakest of the 184 games led by Löw.
SPORT1Conclusion: Matthäus is partly right, the appeal of the DFB game suffers when too many frustrated professionals show up. However, Löw is also under pressure from cargo management. He can’t expect any of his stars to play three internationals in one week, so he’s forced to rotate. Matthew’s criticism shows, however, that Löw is under surveillance more than ever.
