In the past week, trust in the national coach and the national team has actually increased a little again. However, it can only be measured to a limited extent – and at a level that would have to be called an all-time low. “Do you trust national coach Flick and the national team to turn things around?” the “Kicker” wanted to know in his “Question of the Week”. From Tuesday to Wednesday, the proportion of those who said yes increased from ten to twelve percent, but that means: 88 percent still voted no.
This is of course not representative, the “kicker” is not the Germany trend. But because there are other numbers that say something about the mood in football country, those of unsold tickets for the game against France on Tuesday (8:45 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker for DFB international games and on ARD) in Dortmund For example, over 13,000 in the middle of the week, you have to see it like this: as a clear vote of no confidence in the first football institution in the country. And it’s not just because the question was illustrated with Flick’s picture, one has to add: it also has to do with the national coach himself.
