The World Cup qualification of the DFB

The first step is done: The German national team may participate in the World Cup in good a year in Qatar. She has met her minimum order, because in this six field she had to say, also with this distance to the internationally second-class competitors: no opponent in this group J is noted on the first 40 squares of the FIFA world ranking list. This successful World Cup application is only logical. And with seven wins at a slip-up, the 1: 2 home defeat against Nordmasedonia at the end of March, as well as 23: 3 goals, the DFB selection confirmed the expectations, in the addition statistically, is now increasingly playful.

In the North Mazedonian Skopje, the German team continued their upward trend. The five victories and 18: 1 goals, which were collected in the five games under the new national coach Hansi Flick, give the changed style again: the eleven, no matter which actors they form, is always trying, thirsty and elated the possibility for offensive action. This basic setting pleases, even if recreational passports or ball losses, they may arise from excessive or sloppiness, disturb the rhythm and subsequently prevent greater efficiency in degree. Just the passport into the last field of playing fields or in the opposing penalty area can not be missing. Nevertheless, there are plenty of opportunities, which will not always be used consistently.

The individual quality for large matter is available - but not on all positions

Very positive effects that against these playfully limited teams, as Nordmasedonia was above all after the break, balls are always conquered by early attack, then at 0: 2 and 0: 4. The individual and physical superiority sat down there in the second game section. The United Pressing still needs to be tuned further. Also, the backward movement in the collective and the defensive room allocation require even after a clarification.

Captain Manuel s newest, in the case of Nachnlang now Serge Gnabry or Kai Hvertz, speak of title win 2022. It is a smart idea to focus on a clear goal now psychologically. Thus, the own senses are sharpened, it creates a team-internal awareness of the big order in Qatar. And the individual quality for large matter is at several positions quite available, but not everywhere.

The recently taken way is a good one

The search for the ideal outdoor defenders continues. And Timo Werner, under Flick in four out of five gare scorer and a total of five times, must be constantly profiling. He is not the typical center tower anyway. This type does not exist in the German assortment, so the football teacher flick has to fix this defect differently. The variable interpretation of the attacking game as well as the - especially adolescents - Elan offer promising alternative solutions.

Nevertheless, what Leon Goretzka meets: which recently turned away is a good, yet until the World Tournament 2022 remains a lot to do for chef coach flick and its own. Northern Mazedonia or Romania are not the scale. At the global decision, other sizes, such as France and Spain demonstrated in the final of Nations League 24 hours before.
