Then Hansi Flick has to go

Yes, the national team under Flick is brittle like never before

Only three wins in eleven games in the whole World Cup year, just one to zero. Mixed performances, low ratings, declining fan interest and even after the 1-1 draw against Spain, there is still a risk of losing the group stage in Qatar.

Hansi Flick has not stopped the downward trend in the German national team in recent years. Not athletically, let alone in terms of sympathy. On the contrary. Sometimes he makes wrong decisions, then he’s too nice, then he bores you with empty phrases in interviews and at press conferences. Nobody should be blinded by the Spain game.

All this is not surprising. Flick was Joachim Löw’s assistant coach for eight years. When he was nominated as national coach, it was clear that he would not turn the tide.

The national team must be sexy again, under Flick they are more brittle than ever before. The DFB should only think about continuing with Flick after the tournament if it performs exceptionally and surprisingly well. If you are eliminated before the semi-finals, Flick has to go – especially if you are eliminated in the preliminary round.

Thomas Tuchel can start as Flick’s successor immediately after the tournament, maybe the DFB can even realize the king solution Jürgen Klopp. Otherwise, the national team will soon be of no interest to anyone, especially with an early exit.
