Very late at night, Bastian Schweinsteiger painted his team at ARD, whom the 2014 world champion would like to send to the next European championship. There were surprising things there, Manuel Neuer in goal, first you have to find out. However, two names appeared who were no longer at home in a DFB-Elf. In central defense, the name of Jérôme Boateng, 32, was the name of Thomas Müller, 31, a little later.
The debate on whether the personnel decisions of the last year and a half will be questioned after an embarrassing zero six before the old nemesis Spain has something reflective. But it is there. In March 2019, national coach Joachim Löw decided in a surprising step not to nominate three of his Rio world champions, and in the months that followed he always emphatically admitted his decision to whoever asked if he was not better. , Yes …
“The national coach and his team have one opinion, I personally have another,” Schweinsteiger said on Tuesday night, when the 0: 6 impressions were still very fresh: “Players like Jérôme Boateng and Thomas Müller won triple with the best team in Europe They play in the first team and have quality, they are German players, why not for the national team?
The third name, which Schweinsteiger curiously did not mention, but which is also part of the debate, is that of Mats Hummels, 31 years old. He was too young to give up on himself in March 2019, and he has Löw in some very good matches for Borussia Dortmund. proved that you can at least keep up.
A miller is always good for the internal climate
On the night after the DFB’s biggest defeat since 1931, some people who are used to speaking at night after a debacle spoke up. Lothar Matthäus did, Mesut Özil commented on Twitter, other suspects are probably conducting the relevant interviews. The tenor is already unanimous: With Boateng or Hummels in defense, he would not have spent 90 minutes as bad as in Seville. With Boateng or Hummels, he would have at least gotten a 0: 3 over time. It is his fault who puts the internationally inexperienced Robin Koch in central defense against such furious Spaniards.
Now, Löw is still not suspicious of reviewing decisions that were once made in an emergency. He wants to turn players like the talented chef into reliable sizes for the future, and it’s not certain that the team would have been better off with one of the three world champions. The three lived the matches of the preliminary round of the 2018 World Cup in a central role on the field, 0: 1 against Mexico, 2: 1 against Sweden, 0: 2 against South Korea. Also in the following autumn the also critical 0: 3 in Amsterdam against Holland, when the opinion prevailed that he really couldn’t go on like this.
