According to DFB sports director Rudi Völler, the public criticism of national coach Hansi Flick is primarily due to the early failure of the World Cup in Qatar.
“Of course you don’t like how things went in the last three games. Hansi knows that a coach who has this mortgage of leaving under his belt is viewed particularly critically in public and especially in the media.” , Völler said on “Sat.1” before the U21 European Championship game in Batumi against England.
“A new coach would probably have had a little more credit. But that’s professional football. He has to go through with it now,” said Völler.
The German national soccer team, which had to travel home after the first round of the World Cup, recently lost 1-0 in Poland after beating Ukraine 3-3 and conceded 2-0 at home against Colombia.
“Of course, everything won’t get better in the short term. What’s important is that it’s much better next summer,” said Völler.
In September, the DFB selection will play home games against World Cup terror Japan and runners-up France.

When asked if he already had in mind that he might have to pull the ripcord, the former long-standing sporting director of Bundesliga club Bayer 04 Leverkusen replied: “I often had to answer questions like that in Leverkusen too. I think we’ll still be able to do that in September We’ll get the hang of it with two good performances and hopefully with wins. The way we perform is important.”
Völler, himself a world champion in 1990, is optimistic that the DFB has creative players at a very high level. The 63-year-old named Jamal Musiala, Florian Wirtz, Julian Brandt or Kai Havertz. There are also experienced players like Joshua Kimmich or Leon Goretzka. “They have to lead the young players, of course.”
And they would have to go ahead and say, “we’ll get the curve.”
