The storm of criticism from public opinion continued to lash coach Joachim Loew for the boring and fragile play of the team that won the World Cup four times. Remember that in the friendly match against Turkey, only 21.6% of the television audience turned on the live channel of Die Mannschaft, the lowest number in 15 years.

That jumped as much as 26% in the subsequent UEFA Nations League win over Ukraine in the 2020/21 UEFA Nations League, but still shows the diminishing confidence the Germans have in their team. But amid the storm of criticism, Captain Mannschaft remains arrogant: “I honestly don’t care how people comment. I firmly believe in what I do ”.

But in fact, Joachim Loew is turning Germany into a weak and fragile team. In the four games since the beginning of 2020, Germany has fallen into a situation where the opponent recovers strongly, causing them to make mistakes. Even up front, Germany was matched by the opponent. The last match against Ukraine, Loew’s students also trembled under the pressure of the opponent in the second half of the second half and thankfully they maintained a 2-1 victory.

It seems that having led Germany for so long (since 2006) and having a string of achievements (culminating in the 2014 World Cup) has made Loew a conservative and somewhat gloomy coach. He eliminated three gods Thomas Mueller, Jerome Boateng, and Mats Hummels to put his faith in youth, but he never found a new setting.

But in the last 20 games, Loew has thrown a total of 40 players. As a result, Germany does not maintain stability. Loew likes to experiment from human resources to gaming, but it doesn’t bring anything positive.

Germany drew 3-3 for Turkey in a friendly match in which Joachim Loew used many reserve players. But for the match against Ukraine when Loew threw the best force, the “Tank” was still panicked by pressure from Ukraine in the second half of the second half. The problem now is not only the human factor, but also comes from the game and the behavior of the system

Therefore, to welcome Switzerland, Coach Loew made adjustments. First, tactically, he turned to a more suitable 4-2-3-1 instead of the midfield 3 (3-4-3 or 3-5-2) that he constantly used. used last time.

He then changed 3 positions on the starting list, but in part due to the change in tactics. The duo now with Chelsea, Kai Havertz vs Timo Werner appears in attack and Robin Gosens (Atalanta) is in defense.

However, that’s why the Germans played better. After 5 minutes, Freuler stretched too gently for Shaqiri, but in an empty position and close to goal, the forgotten star at Anfield could only hit the Neuer goalkeeper.

But in the corner right after that, the visitors took the lead. Still, Freuler (Gosens teammate in Atalanta) hit the ball in the 16m50 area and forward Gavranovic (playing in Croatia) is not offside to make a difficult header, leaving Germany’s No. 1 goalkeeper out of the hand.

Having been led at the table, of course, Die Mannschaft must find a way to attack to equalize. But they were quite stalled by the strict multi-layered defense system the opponent built in front of the goal.

Not only that, in the 15th minute, Neuer also carelessly kicked and was caught by Seferovic, but it was the 34-year-old goalkeeper who corrected himself by rejecting Gavranovic’s intention to shoot later.

After the first part of the first half, at best, Germany only created some threatening situations from afar, but goalkeeper Sommer never had to act (playing in the Bundesliga with Gladbach). Exactly until the 26th minute, the home team had their first significant opportunity in the 16m50 area when Toni Kroos passed a beautiful ball to Timo Werner to escape and face Sommer, but the forward was too good to be caught. .

Almost immediately, Germany had to receive the second goal. From Kroos’ handling of errors in midfield, Switzerland deployed a quick attack. Seferovic brought the ball close to the 16m50 area before passing Freuler into a more favorable position and the midfielder had a technical shot overhead from Neuer and forced closer. Midfielder Rudiger went to great lengths to save, but failed.

However, just minutes after being 0-2, Germany had the first goal. Receiving the ball from teammate Kai Havertz, Timo Werner penetrated the penalty area and launched a not-so-perfect left-foot shot that was enough to defeat the opponent.

The Germans’ game and morale improved significantly after the goal cut the score. In the 35th minute, Gosens spontaneously launched a kick to the outside of his left foot from near the 16m50 line and only Sommer’s excellence could help Switzerland preserve the lead.

At the end of the first half, the pressure on the Swiss goal increased a bit, but Germany could not find a draw. His best chance was a close shot from Toni Kroos.

At the start of the second half, Kai Havertz “danced” through the opponent’s fence and then fired a shot to block Sommer’s hand, but sadly the post parried the star’s goal at Chelsea.

However, in the 55th minute, the midfielder in 1999 brought a 2-2 draw for Mannschaft. Kai Havertz made good use of Xhaka’s misguided pass to keep the ball quickly in the 16m50 area before finishing the diagonal cleanly, defeating Sommer.

This is Havertz’s second goal in the national jersey color after the first goal in a friendly match against Peru 2-1 in September 2018. However, Mannschaft’s joy and excitement soon died away.

In the 56th minute, once again the German defense showed its weakness (this has happened many times and coach Loew has yet to find a solution) when he let Seferovic threaten Neuer without any objection. paralysis. The 1986-born goalkeeper had to save twice in a row, but Gavranovic’s third shot had to give up.

Fortunately, the German public goods this party has performed well thanks to reasonable adjustments. In the 60th minute Werner tried to cross the center from near the center and Serge Gnarby was on the heels of his technique, shaking hands with Sommer.

Recall that the last goal was the 14th after just 15 games for the Bayern Munich star’s German team, a tremendously incredible performance especially when Gnarby was not playing in the middle position.

In the 71st minute, Gnarby still fired a shot from outside the 16m50 line, but nothing difficult for the Gladbach goalkeeper, of course he is no stranger to many German players.

The forward born in 1995 played very well in the second half, becoming a great inspiration in attack. In the 81st minute, he passed the ball too skillfully into the 16m50 area for Draxler to enter and take off, but the ball went out, although the opportunity to eat was not small.

The rest of the time, the home team persisted and tried to attack to score the deciding goal, but all they did was a red card for Fabian Schar in injury time.

Thus, Germany once again has to split points with Switzerland in the UEFA Nations League this season (the first leg of the two teams has drawn 1-1) and score 6 points after 4 games. Fortunately, in the match at the same time, the best team in Spain suddenly fell on Ukraine (lost 0-1), so the difference between the two teams was reduced even to 1 point, so the opportunity to take the part superior of teachers and students. Joachim Loew is still intact because the Nations League group stage has 2 more games.
