Football-loving Germany wakes up on Wednesday with a hangover of unprecedented proportions. Die Mannschaft needed one point against Spain to crown itself as group winner in the Nations League, but lost 6-0 (!) In Seville. The German press also did not know what it went through on Tuesday evening. VoetbalPrimeur makes a tour of the fields.
IMAGE only two out of ten basic players did not give 6 – the lowest possible grade in the German school system – and Openly speculated about the position of national coach Joachim Löw, has been in office since 2006 (!). Seven months before the European Championship starts, the football association has to answer a pressing question: can we still entrust Joachim Löw with the national team? Or should we start thinking of alternatives? ‘Wrote the leading medium after the shocking football evening. ‘The opposition that Germany offered: insane, brutal, incomprehensible. Philipp Max was freaked out by Ferrán Torres and on the field only the Spaniards could be heard: a leader – like the absent Joshua Kimmich – was nowhere to be seen. ‘
One-way football
The kicker established that history was being made in Seville. ‘The Spaniards exuded joy in the game and were superior in all conceivable areas. The DFB-Elf did not offer the slightest resistance and were outclassed at times. ‘ The medium spoke of ‘Einbahnstrassenfussball’, one-way traffic, in Seville. ‘Spain could continue to play its combination football unhindered and Germany turned upside down. Just before the end, the half dozen was completed by Miker Oyarzabal, who gave the match an extra historical dimension: Germany suffered its biggest defeat since 1931. The fact that Spain reached the Final Four with this was ultimately only a side issue. ‘
According to the Frankfuter Allgemeine Zeitung reached The team a historic low. ‘The last Nations League game was to be an exam for the German team, but it ended up being a historic catastrophe. Löw’s men blamed themselves as never before in his long time with the national team. The national coach himself underwent it just as passively as his players. ‘ FAZ could already see the dark clouds gathering. “Anyone who thought they were going to sleep with confidence after the victories against the Czech B-team and the weakened Ukraine, has now been woken up with a thunderbolt.”
0: 6 clap
The world lived with Löw and with goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. ‘The national coach will have to answer many questions after this painful performance. He watched motionless from the dug-out and saw his team being put through the mangle. Neuer kept his 96th international match and took over the goalkeeper record from Sepp Maier. However, he was powerless and was abandoned by all his defenders. Spain eventually dethroned Germany as the leader: that was a minor matter, however, compared to the game that was put on the mat. ‘
Debakel in Sevilla !, headlined the Berliner Morgenpost and last but not least. At 10:34 pm this memorable evening was over. It was downright humiliating, from the first to the last minute. ‘ The DFB expressed its support for Löw before and afterwards, but the Berliner Morgenpost had reservations about this. The national coach said goodbye on Tuesday, to the international year 2020 that is. Only one of the eight games was lost in this. But this 0: 6 clap in Seville will certainly continue into 2021. ‘
