Matthäus – “Löw brings uncertainty into the team with decisions”
Stand: 10:30 a.m.
Shaking game against Hungary – Germany’s rescue in the video
With a lot of dizziness and thanks to three substitutes, Germany made it to the round of 16 against Hungary. Until shortly before the end there was little to speak for the national team – until Goretzka redeemed Germany. All the highlights in the video.
Lothar Matthäus takes the German national team to court. In particular, the decisions of the national coach meet with great incomprehension. He also passed a devastating verdict on Löw’s favorite Toni Kroos.
RRecord national player Lothar Matthäus has criticized the previous appearances of the DFB-Elf at the European championship and questioned some personnel decisions of national coach Joachim Löw. In the round of 16 between England and Germany on Tuesday (6 p.m., in the sports ticker of the WELT), Matthäus sees “two co-favorites who have mostly disappointed me”. Both teams would have “rather tortured themselves into the second round,” said the 60-year-old record international.
In the 2-2 draw against Hungary in the last group game, Matthäus missed the risk of goals from midfield and runs down for a long time. “I said two months ago: I would let Bayern Munich play with midfield, with Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka and Thomas Müller,” said Matthäus and explained: “Then there would be an order and in Kimmich a sixth, the one Playing balls in depth, not across, which makes the game slow. I appreciate Toni Kroos, and I have to say: It’s fantastic how precisely his balls often fly from right to left. But that does not save space and is not in keeping with the times. That was not Germany-like overall. “He was reminded of the qualifying round at the 2018 World Cup.
In addition, he could “partially not understand the decisions of national coach Joachim Löw”, wrote Matthäus. “It brings uncertainty into the team, whether with the back three, the positions of the players or several changes during the game.”
Bad grade for Löw
One could say that everything went well. “But if that’s our claim, then I feel sorry for German football.” If he could give the coaches a grade, he would give Hungary coach Marco Rossi “a very good one and Löw a bad one,” said Matthäus.

Löw seems to have “not yet found the team he really believes in”. Some professionals have disappointed Löw “several times, but he always gives them a chance,” wrote Matthäus. Bayern professional Jamal Musiala, for example, deserves more time. “It has to be about performance, not experience.”
