Das Reboot and the Road to UEFA Nations League & EC2020

Joachim Löw says he was 'not pleased' with Philipp Lahm's criticism against him: "We know how to communicate with young players, how to guide them, and over the last few years, we have always done so well, which has led to many successes." [sky] pic.twitter.com/YIGbyFrtHm

Lahm although a great player really does seem like a backstabber. 1st you had his Ballack row and now with Low.

 

what he did to Ballack was and even ex players have been criticizing Lahm's attitude. That he should have discussed it in private with Low. Can't say I disagree. Lahm is a good player but question marks over his attitude over the years.

besides we don't know what Low will do nor what result analyzing of the WC will have for the future of the NT.

Low has already said that Germany needs massive changes and based on reports a lot of things will change and a rebuild will happen.

no point in keep bashing the guy when we don't know what he'll do.

 

In the interview Bierhoff also announced changes. "People always look very closely at the national team, and that's a good thing, because it also shows the bond and identification, I know we've lost credit," said the 50-year-old, "we'll face up to change We will do everything we can to ensure that the team presents itself properly and wows with good football.


Joachim Low believes there must be "big changes" in Germany after the nation's shock group-stage exit at the World Cup.

Head coach Low, whose future remains unclear despite signing a new deal until 2022 before the World Cup, said action was needed after Germany's first opening-round exit at the tournament since 1938.

"We've had this situation – when the team was knocked out of the European Championship in 2004 after the group stage," he said.

"After that, there were a lot of changes. Over 14 years we got better and better, we were the most consistent team in the world for the last 10 years and we were world champions.

"But now, with the exit and huge disappointment, we must reflect what the consequences will be and the right steps.

"We need changes, big changes. And about that, we must talk."

Germany never hit top form in Russia and Low, who has been in charge since 2006, said time was needed to pinpoint what went wrong.

"It's too early to say. Of course, we talked about it. But there isn't a single reason or a single thing for why we failed," he said.

"There are more reasons, and it's my responsibility to analyse that. It was also my responsibility to get the team on a high level of football in these four weeks and that didn't work as well.

"Now we need a bit of time and a few conversations and then we will give answers."

 

I'm not high on Low and he should have been fired. But we can't change that and he isn't going anywhere and it's better to have a wait and see approach.

he is under pressure and our next game is vs the current WC champs, France.

meanwhile Pep tips Sane.
Pep Guardiola has backed the player to continue improving and look to the future.

‘Leroy has to accept that this decision may make him stronger,’ Guardiola explained.

‘He’s so young and in two years it is another European Championships and then in four years another World Cup.

‘I think it’s the past now. The national trainer decided what’s the best for the national team.

‘Leroy has to accept it and move forward. He has the chance to show the national team from Germany and first of all us, he has another season to show his quality.


He has to improve his game, try to keep the levels he showed last season. We are so happy to have him here.
