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.
Doesnt help that the bundesliga transformed into a single club league that is lowering the performance standards.
These jind of situations really hindwr the development of youth because Bayern will end up / poach the most enticing prospects… and even Bayern can only play so many people per match. You are likely to debelop very differently as a benchwarmer vs a starting line-up player
If other clubs are able to retain talent for a longer periods of time, and star players are more evenly spread, that would benefit the national team in the long run.
Expecting a single club to be the main / sole provider, when they also harbour a lot foreigners in the mix, will have a massive detrimental effect to ones national team.
