The reason why it is unpopular is because in our impression, European teams represented by Germany are very strong. To tell you the truth, I think Germany's performance is not bad, but it was really unexpected that it was out of the group stage. I thought Germany could win the championship before, so I watched every game about Germany in this World Cup. Germany regretted leaving because it lost to Spain on goal difference. The following are some reasons for the unsatisfactory performance of the German team in this World Cup.
First, external factors
For Germany, the four-time World Cup champion, the performance is not good, but it is not entirely Germany's own fault. In this World Cup, Germany's Group E is recognized as the death group, and the teams in the same group are Germany, Japan, Costa Rica and Spain. At first, you may think that Japan will be more difficult, but the Blue Warrior not only won rammstein, but also finished first in the group.
Japan's strength is not as weak as we thought. The team members are very strong. There are many core Bundesliga players in the team, such as Asano Nagaakira Takuma, Tang Anlu and Bancang Quan Kun, as well as Arsenal's Fuan Jianyang and La Liga's Kubo Jianying. Daichi Kamada is the absolute main force of the Frankfurt Europa League champion, and even the substitute has European experience. The players fought boldly with clear tactics and self-role arrangements. Although Japan has no physical advantage, its skills and tactics are not lost to Germany at all. Moreover, some members of the Japanese team belong to the same club as those of the German team, so they will have a deeper understanding of the German team. Over the years, Japan's achievements in football reform are obvious to all, and a large number of football talents have emerged. The tactics of head coach Hajime Moriyasu are also admirable.
The war situation is difficult to control, which is one of the reasons why Germany was eliminated. Spain scored seven goals in Costa Rica before Germany and Japan started the match. Therefore, after Germany loses to Japan, the probability of qualifying is relatively small (unless it wins in the next two games). After the draw with Spain, the chances of qualifying are even more slim. Even though Costa Rica's overall strength is the weakest in the group, it is difficult for Germany to reproduce the glory of Spain's seven goals against Costa Rica. In the last game against Costa Rica, Germany really did its best. Even if we keep staring at the picture of the game, there is no way to change the result. After watching the game, many people who like the German team cried.
Second, internal factors.
20 14 World Cup, Germany beat Brazil to tears with a record of 7-0/Kloc-0, and won the World Cup. Germany's performance in the World Cup this time is not satisfactory. I think the German team itself has the following three reasons.
1. did not follow the football tradition.
Generally speaking, football powers have their own football traditions. For example, the tradition of German football is to hold high and hit high, bombing opponents with the header of the center. Argentine football tradition is efficient attack and resolute defense, while English football tradition is long pass and hanging in the middle. When fighting against Japan, Germany did not follow the previous football tradition.
After the game, many people said, "Why not follow your own football tradition? Don't you know that Japanese players are short on average? " Hold high and hit high, so that Japan can't grab the ball? "Although Germany lost, if you watch the whole game, you will find that Germany has a high possession rate, but Japan can seize the opportunity to shoot. The loss of the tradition of attacking in the middle is the main reason why Germany has the ball but can't shoot. So Germany, which lost its football tradition, lost its first game.
The German team went home.
2. The lineup is flawed
Germany used to be famous for its center, but now it pursues the principle of no center. Eccentrism may mean that everyone is central. But it may also cause the phenomenon of "weakness before". After Klose retired, the German center directly broke the file, and Havertz, who was most suitable for the shadow striker position, was pushed to the center position.
There are also some problems with the staffing of the lineup. It's not that they are not strong, but that a team depends not only on individual strength, but also on cooperation. ) Germany prefers "Bayern" in terms of candidates, resulting in some capable players missing the World Cup. In this World Cup, there are Mueller, Kimisi, Mukoko, Mushala and so on who represent the German team. Among them, Muller scored ten goals in the previous two World Cups, more than Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo combined. Werner bid farewell to the World Cup due to injury before the game, and the German team had to replace Werner with Fulkruger. Without the shackles of the traditional center and the excellent wingman like Werner, it is difficult for Muller to create his former glory. Although the teenager Muxiala is also excellent, it is unrealistic to expect Muxiala, who is 19 years old, to carry the banner.
3. The rhythm is out of order
Pay attention to the rhythm when playing football. If the rhythm is interrupted, it is probably an accident. There are five substitution places in a game of this World Cup, which tests the coach's strategy. If you change it well, you can win by surprise. For example, if you score a goal in less than two minutes, you may interrupt the rhythm of the whole team if you become bad. For example, in the match with the Japanese team, Frick replaced Gundogan with Greca, which caused the German team to lose control of the midfield. Many people think that Frick's strategy is the main problem, which failed to let the German team play its real strength.
In this World Cup, the German team regretted leaving and returned to Germany in advance. According to the German kicker, Muller and Gundogan will quit the German national team after the World Cup. In addition, Frick, who is considered as the "culprit", is currently considering resigning.
I believe many German fans will be a little sad about this result. I hope to see the wonderful performance of Germany in the next World Cup.
