In this post, let’s discuss the root causes and factors of the weakness of the German national team, and enjoy the journey to Germany’s return to power.
First of all, it is my personal opinion that defense is the most important thing in modern football.
Therefore, although it has been pointed out that the German national team lacks forwards and strikers and has a low scoring ability, this is a problem, but I disagree.
As is clear from today’s match against Turkey, the German national team loses games by conceding more goals than the team’s scoring ability.
Argentina’s strength in winning the Qatar World Cup.
And the reason for the strength of Argentina, which is ranked 1st in the World Cup 2026 qualifying.
This is due to their high defensive strength, as Argentina concedes very few goals.
The only time we conceded was two goals against Uruguay.
This is tied for best among CONMEBOL World Cup 2026 Qualifiers.
Currently, there is not a single decent defender among German football players.
Therefore, in order for the German national team to make a comeback, it is urgently necessary to develop defenders.
The German national team will continue to lose in official games until they improve their collapsing defense.
Large chunk of the problem is (imo) that everyone still thinks that we are absolutely great and had a rough time with “accidents”. Players Like Schlotterbeck, Havertz, Kimmich and Werner aren’t top tier, but they think they are.
After winning 2014 we abondoned core strengths. We thought we are going to dominate the tournaments with strong possession play like Spain did before.
Nope. None of that, new plan pls.
Kimmich still is a world class player imo, he’s just trying to do too much
