In a mammoth PK, Oliver Bierhoff commented on the situation of the national team under Jogi Löw.
He ponders the development of the DFB selection - and causes a stir.
Since the 0: 6 disgrace in Spain with the DFB selection *, national coach
Joachim Löw has been
criticized more than ever.
How much is the long-time coach in the association?
Team manager
Oliver Bierhoff
expressed himself in a PK.
Is Jogi Löw still the right man?
His supervisor raved about the development for almost 90 minutes.
Frankfurt - At a PK,
Oliver Bierhoff
commented on the current situation in the national team and also clarified the question of how
Joachim Löw is
still the right man in the post of national coach.
The team manager supported the coach of the
DFB selection
and illustrated the development of the past years with the help of infographics.
Using a Powerpoint presentation, the 52-year-old stated that it was not an option for him to take responsibility away from Löw after a completely unsuccessful performance against Spain: In the absolutely exceptional year 2020, the coach was unable to advance any development.
"A game cannot be the yardstick for such a decision," said Bierhoff.
DFB: Bierhoff with a plea for Löw - and an explanation of how the national team should play in the future
The former international striker stated that the renewal of the DFB selection in the strategic and tactical area is a long process that requires patience: Bierhoff explained that the game of the
German national team is being developed
towards a
fast, vertical style
and away from pure ball possession football.
Protagonists like Leroy Sané, Timo Werner and Serge Gnabry are predestined for this style of play.
Further features should be in the future: high acceleration, game speed and stability or safety.
Oliver Bierhoff also describes how the
Corona crisis * has
acutely affected the situation of the DFB, analogous to the whole of society, which has a direct impact on the sporting appearances: He makes his "peace" with "that the development has not been advanced as hoped ”, but the overall results would have been correct.
Ultimately, what Löw achieved this year was a success.

Oliver Bierhoff recalls Sweden adventures 2012
Then he specifically went into the debacle against Spain: How did it happen that Germany's best footballers lose 6-0?
"There are games, you just notice that nothing works," explains Bierhoff and gives examples that many big teams would experience something like that.
#Bierhoff gives a lecture on the # DFB crisis and defends # Löw: "A development in 2020 was not possible.
You can see that in the Bundesliga too.
Bayern get four goals against Hoffenheim or three against Hertha.
It's the same internationally.
The quality of the games decreases. ”Pic.twitter.com/BdQFeg3InW

"Not only was the result disappointing, but also the way it was done," explained Bierhoff, drawing comparisons with other
historical bankruptcies
.
As an example, he cited the legendary Champions League final between AC Milan and Liverpool FC (2005) and the 4: 4 of the DFB selection against Sweden despite a 4: 0 lead (October 2012): "We have them Sweden noodles. "
What Bierhoff probably meant: These demonstrably great teams also made slips.
After all: Germany won the
world title
two years later
.
Bierhoff has heard the question “Is the 6-0 maybe the icing on the cake of the development under Jogi Löw?”
He replies: “Don't the players follow the coach?
How do the good values come about, especially in 2019? ”The signs are clear in the analysis that they will continue to follow him, believes the 70-time national player and manager von Löw.
Many users on Twitter and Co. were angry about this assessment.
When you talk about sporting advancement ... you should admit that Flick was the actual coach back in 2014.
If you take Löw's successes as a club coach ... fired everywhere because of poor performance.
#Bierhoff can talk up as much as he wants!

National team: DFB team manager Bierhoff reacts to criticism of international matches
Does the reduced
attractiveness of international matches have
to do
with the increased number due to the introduction of the
Nations League
?
Bierhoff turned to those people who criticize because national teams are traveling across the world despite the corona pandemic to hold encounters.
I would like to apologize to the #DFB for every critical word.
The Powerpoint presentation from #Bierhoff convinced me 100 percent.
Everything is great at #DieMannschaft.

Ultimately, it is about using the income
to promote
regional state associations
and the
next generation
. For this reason, Bierhoff feels that the question of the raison d'être is excessive. Instead, in his opinion, Champions League games would not be called into question, even though this was really about ensuring that high player salaries can continue to be paid.
