The debacle of the DFB against Spain: barbers in Seville



[ad_1]

Game scene: Serge Gnabry dribbled in front of the Spanish penalty area, letting two defenders stop with a twist of his body, shot hard, the ball hit the crossbar. Anyone who turned on the television at the time had the impulse to make a good impression on the German team. However, it was already the 77th minute and it was the DFB’s first shot on the opponent’s goal. At that time it was 5-0 for Spain.

Game result: 6: 0 (3: 0) for Spain. 6: 0! And again, because otherwise you might not believe it: six to zero. A historic result. The DFB-Elf played like a relegated League of Nations. The match report, which you will read a lot about Spanish goals, can be found here.

The first half: Within minutes, the DFB defense was lucky when the referee moved a German foul from his own penalty area in front of the penalty area. That was the end of the happy moments for Löw-Elf. Morata opened the scoring after a corner kick (minute 17), then continued with light blows from Ferrán Torres (33) and Rodrigo (38). The Spanish continued to be negligent when it came to facing their chances, the German team lacked everything. With 0: 3 went into the break, the DFB-Elf had last experienced Ash Wednesday 2006 in Florence. The politicians then wanted to summon coach Jürgen Klinsmann to the Bundestag sports committee.

The second half: He continued as before the break. A completely apathetic German team that had its counterpart in a frozen Joachim Löw on the coaches’ bench. Ferran Torres made it 4-0 shortly after the play, and then at the latest it was problematic to give up all the “stop counting” jokes. As in the US, here it would not have helped either. Ferrán Torres with his third goal (minute 72) and Mikel Oyarzabal (89) increased to half a dozen. The DFB-Elf had long since collapsed like a creamy foam.

Game player: Manuel Neuer was celebrated for his 96th international match before the game. Good thing they did before kick-off. He is the record goalkeeper for the DFB. What such a title is worth on the field could be seen in the following record: Neuer had never conceded six goals in 90 minutes in 95 games before. Will remember the game.

Game date: May 24, 1931. A German team has already lost 6-0. Against Austria. It was the second biggest loss in the association’s history. Only a 0: 9 against England remains in the statistics. But the Spanish were too kind for that night. It would have been possible.

Game discussion: During the game, ARD live commentator Tom Bartels opened the barrel. The longer the game lasted, the more often the names of Boateng, Hummels and Müller were mentioned. The national coach will not remove this discussion in the coming months.

Game numbers: Test only of the first half: 14: 1 shots on goal. Ball possession 65 percent versus 35 percent. Passes: 350 to 189. The dark cloud is called dark cloud in Spanish.

Quote from the game: “It was a hard-fought match!” Tom Bartels was downright euphoric after a German defender fought for a ball in his own half going 5-0 down. The sheer humiliation for the 2014 world champion from the final commentator of the Rio Finals.

Game quote II: “That is difficult to explain.” Joachim Löw with the disclosure oath after the match. Although: You can even take it off.

I did not forget it: The Spanish were very strong. That must be said with such a look at the navel. Luis Enrique’s team celebrated a brilliant resurrection.

Knowledge of the game: The national team has lost many people, it has left them indifferent. Such a night, a debacle, a football catastrophe, a fiasco at the very least, has an effect: we are talking about this team again. And about his coach. There are four long months until the next international game. Something is going to happen. Something has to happen.
