The German national team conceded the next defeat about a year before the European Championships at home. After the 0: 1 in Poland, the DFB selection is criticized in the media. Abroad, people are surprised by the condition of the former football giant. The press reviews:
kicker: “Lots of ball possession, no goal: Kiwior puts the next DFB damper on the table. The 3-3 win against the Ukraine gave little hope for an improvement in the DFB team in the near future, in Poland the German national team made nine changes in the starting XI. Only Rüdiger and Kimmich stayed with us from the start.”
Image: “Flick crisis getting worse! Who still wants to go to the EM 2024? At 0: 1 in Poland there is the next portion of frustration. National coach Hansi Flick (58) is experimenting after the Ukraine revelation (a 3rd place at the last second). :3 fetched). There is nothing more to be seen of a team scaffolding.”
ntv: “Doubts about Flick are growing: DFB-Elf loses in Poland. There is no reaction to the weak anniversary against Ukraine: the German national soccer team loses in Poland. With the defeat when a BVB legend says goodbye, the pressure on the national coach increases Flick: For the 11th time in the last 15 games, his eleven are without a win.”
RTL: “DFB crisis is coming to a head! Germany messes up the next test. It shouldn’t go on like this! The German national soccer team also fails the endurance test against Poland and is still desperately looking for its tournament form. The bitter 0:1 puts the national coach Hansi Flick under even more pressure, despite all the oaths of allegiance, the doubts are growing.”
Süddeutsche: “The DFB-Elf is wrong. Better performance than against Ukraine, but the worse result: The opposing goalkeeper is strong in the 0-1 draw in Warsaw and the DFB team continues its negative run – the criticism of the Management of the national coach is likely to increase.”
FAZ: “No German progress with Flick. Offensively harmless, defensively shaky: The German national football team again owes a lot with the 0-1 draw in Poland. A year before the start of the European Championship at home, the pressure increases before the game against Colombia.”
Przeglad Sportowy: “We will remember this game for a long time! Poland beat Germany – two great heroes. Poland beat Germany 1-0 after Jakub Kiwior’s winning goal. As in 2014, the Red-Whites’ hero was Wojciech Szczesny. The Polish goalkeeper did his best to crown Jakub Blaszczykowski’s farewell with a prestigious win.”
Gazeta Wyborcza: “The best possible farewell to Jakub Blaszczykowski. The Germans play football, Poland wins. Thanks to Wojciech Szczesny’s phenomenal game, the Polish national team didn’t concede a goal in the game against Germany. A 1-0 win is hardly a fair result though. “
Fact: “We defeated the Germans! The heroes of the game were Kuba, Kiwior and Szczesny. What a thrill! It was Fernando Santos’ third game as coach of the Polish national team. Until the game against Germany on Friday, it was dominant, to say the least , no big fuss Admittedly, it was ‘just’ a friendly, but a game against our neighbors to the west is always something special and so it was this time!
Blick: “Poland’s bankruptcy is sinking the DFB-Elf even deeper into the crisis. Germany actually wants to spark football euphoria a year before the European Championships at home. Instead, the frustration with the DFB-Elf and coach Hansi Flick is increasing .”
NZZ: “Hansi and his patchwork. The state of the German national team is worrying the public a year before the European Championships in their own country – national coach Flick simply can’t find a way out of the crisis.”
