Curious as to why there is so much dislike towards Low, didn't he win you the World Cup in convincing fashion? I'll be honest I'm not clued up on the German NT, so in the dark surrounding Low's reign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the talent at his disposal he could/should have won sooner/more. He's incredibly stubborn, calls young promising players only up when the media basically pressures him into it, stays loyal to players that don't belong into the national team performance-wise, makes generally weird decisions, sticks to his old wooden principals and generally the national team has been playing an awful football for a long time now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can, although I wouldn't be too surprised if DFB were looking for somebody else like e.g. Stefan Kuntz (depending how U21 do this coming tournament) or Ralf Rangnick.

I think it's also curious how Germany's successes in the last 15 years coincide with Hansi Flick's spell as assistant manager in the national team.

There have always been rumours about him being the binding force behind the team, but it would be interesting to know just how much influence did he have on tactics and player selection back then. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 @Tommy I dont believe germany should have won it before 2014. That Spanish side was one of the best international teams ever. Very rare that so many great players play for the same country. I'm no expert in german football but ne careful what you wish for mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely seems like theres something there. It was nearly instantaneous when Flick took over from Kovac that things came together for us and players (like Boateng) where praising him left right and center. If fans and the media alike have boatloads of questions about personal, selection, tactics I cant imagine the players would feel much different about Löw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
