Philipp Lahm and Joachim Löw became world champions together in 2014.
Now the captain at the time makes it clear that something has to change at the DFB.
What's
next
for
Joachim Löw
at the DFB *?
The national coach * is counted.
Now
Philipp Lahm
speaks up.
Frankfurt - it still hurts.
The
6-0 swat
left many wounds that do not heal very quickly.
The crisis summit on December 4th, when Oliver Bierhoff is supposed to declare the historic DFB bankruptcy, ensures that.
And of course the debacle has also re-fueled the discussions about national coach Joachim Löw *.
What's next for the 2014 World Champion *?
Somebody who knows him very well is now unpacking:
Philipp Lahm
.
The captain of the Rio heroes * knows bitter defeats best himself.
Among other things, also against
Spain
in the European Championship final in 2008 or the World Cup semi-final in 2010. Although the two 0-1 bankruptcies were far from 0: 6 - the framework was much larger than in the
Nations League
.
Joachim Löw: national coach before DFB-Aus?
Philipp Lahm intervenes
Lahm
now expressed his thoughts on the current situation in a guest
post by SportBild
.
He is certain: the national
coach
is right when he counts on fresh blood.
“
Jogi Löw
has decided to trust this new generation of players.
I don't just think that's right, there is no alternative, ”
Lahm
explains.
Diego Maradona is dead - football icon died at the age of 60!

But then he has an unequivocal demand for the
coach
: “Now he has to make sure that the spark finally leaps over the players he trusts.” In 2018
Lahm
said that “
Jogi Löw has
to adapt his speech to this generation ".
Philipp Lahm makes an announcement to Joachim Löw: DFB hero becomes clear
Lahm
,
DFB honorary captain
for a reason
, has a flaming appeal in store: “It's not just any football game when you play for
Germany
.
The
German national team
is the most important team in the country.
She represents
Germany
.
The people in this country - and not just the football fans - feel represented by this team.
You want to recognize yourself in this team.
They want to see this team play and fight, and ideally win too. ”When it comes out 6-0, the frustration is of course great - across the country.
Lahm
noticed the
ongoing discussions about Löw's future
.
The Bayern legend does not take a direct stance on this, but makes it clear: The national
coach
must keep in mind “what responsibility he bears himself.
The
German national team
needs the reinvention ”.
And further: “The reinvention has to start now.
And it has to become visible very quickly.
The spark has to jump over! ”Clear words that can perhaps even be interpreted as a reference to the
DFB
?
A “reinvention” could always be interpreted as a change of coach.
DFB: Jürgen Klopp as successor to Joachim Löw?
Philipp Lahm with hidden messages
Indirectly,
Lahm
even
brings
up a Löw successor * that many fans from Germany would like to see: Jürgen Klopp.
The
DFB-Elf
is "made for a full-throttle football, such as
Liverpool FC
," writes
Lahm
.
The fact that the Reds are now so successful should not only be due to the player material.
Klopp's motivational skills in the dressing room and on the pitch also play their part, of course, not to mention the tactics.
The former world-class player would also like to have this kind of mentality at the
DFB
: It takes “absolute enthusiasm and passion - and that is what the national
coach has to
convey to his players”.
From Lahm's demands it becomes clear: He wants more fire.
Is
it the core competence of
Joachim Löw
to convey this fire?
Klopp
would be
better
known for that.
