Ex-Bayern star Ballack complains after England bankruptcy against Löw - "That was an alibi"

For Germany, the EM 2021 is over after the defeat against England.

Michael Ballack clearly criticizes the outgoing national coach Jogi Löw.

Munich / London - Jogi Löw didn't want to say goodbye like this: The German national team is eliminated after a poor performance against England in the round of 16 of the EM 2021 *.

Two goals by Raheem Sterling (75th minute) and Harry Kane (86th) made the DFB-Elf knocked out.

Löw knows the business - and knows exactly that the criticism after such a bankruptcy will not be long in coming.

At the center of the displeasure: Löw's late reaction after the English leadership.

The Baden Emre Can and Leroy Sané only changed in the 87th minute.

Youngster Jamal Musiala from FC Bayern even had to wait until stoppage time (90th minute + 2).

DFB bankruptcy: Michael Ballack does not understand Jogi Löw's hesitation

Expert Michael Ballack could not understand the decisions of the national coach at all.

"I don't understand why the national coach has been waiting so long to make a change," said the former DFB captain at MagentaTV: "You could wait for us to fall behind."

He referred to Musiala's substitution in stoppage time as an “alibi.

That doesn't do any good. ”No wonder that Ballack, of all people, finds clear words.

After all, he was once thrown out of the DFB team by Löw.

In addition to Ballack, Hertha managing director Fredi Bobic was also a guest at MagentaTV.

He agreed: “You have five bills of exchange.

The national coach has to be accused of that.

Even in the past, his changes were questionable. "

EM 2021: Germany is eliminated in the round of 16 against England - Jogi Löw takes off his hat

Serge Gnabry was the only joker who was allowed to show himself for more than 20 minutes. But like the entire German offensive, he remained pale throughout the game - Kai Havertz was the only small ray of hope *. The Löw era finally came to a painful end, now Hansi Flick takes over. Reparation can soon be made: the World Cup will take place in Qatar at the end of 2022.
