New national coach Hans-Dieter "Hansi" Flick: "He can't carve a scorer"

Flick is certainly a bit more withdrawn than Löw. So someone who is also a bit more binding, I would say. So, for example, in 2012, when he was Löw's assistant, he also made sure that these rivalries between Dortmund and Bayern were cushioned a bit. Was there also the contact person for many players. So in that sense he's a little closer to the players. I don't think it's going to change much anymore, it probably won't take off anymore.

Back then, Flick clearly identified himself with this assistant role while working with Löw.

He wasn't one who tried to talk the head coach into it either.

There have always been debates about whether Flick is the real father of the 2014 world championship success. I don't really see it that way at all.

Löw was the spirit rector, and he needed this reliable, solid, hardworking Hansi Flick at his side, because that is another side that is not so pronounced at Löw. "

.

I do believe that he can hit the table too. He certainly has a different management style, and he will also need a different management style for the national team than at FC Bayern, so at FC Bayern his job was more to let the stars make the most of their potential, but more so to moderate. As a national coach, of course, he also has to build up more, he also has to introduce young players, and maybe also has to balance between experienced and young players in order to find the right mix. But I trust him. I do believe that he has qualities there. I think that as a leader he may even be a little underestimated.

He's definitely not going to let hurray football play.

The football that Löw played in South Africa in 2010, where he left the boys off the chain.

That's probably not Flick's style.

Well, he's just a more cautious guy, and I think that will be reflected in the style of play a little bit.

You're not going to go completely on the offensive now. "

I don't think Hansi Flick will manage it. Robert Lewandowski naturalize that the man is still playing for the German national team. I mean, he can't carve a goalscorer either. Neither can he carve a dribbler, nor can he carve a full-back. Those are the positions that are poorly occupied in the national team. And of course that won't change ad hoc with such a change of coach. He will definitely have problems raising this team to a level right now so that it can keep up with the top nations again. "

First of all, of course, Joachim Löw takes a break again.

He always does that after tournaments.

It doesn't matter whether he still has the job or not.

Löw, well I don't know, I can well imagine that he will actually take early retirement, harvest at the age of 61.

You always hear that he's dying to take on a task.

He still wants a new challenge.

I can well imagine that there can be offers.

But I'm a bit skeptical whether that will really happen.
