Germany This is one of the negative surprises of the World Cup. The German team did not make it past the group stage Qatar despite the presence of prominent figures and the German press was critical about it. neither Hansi Flickobviously satisfied.
The German national coach speaks today, after the World Cup, of the gray participation of the German team and makes a self-criticism, throwing his own players for focusing too much on political issues.
“French President Emmanuel Macron said something like: ‘Football is too politicized. Our players should focus on football, then I will take care of politics,” Flick said according to German FNP. He added: “It would be good if the same was the case for us. Our job is to play soccer. There are already people trained to manage politics.”
Flick believes that the national team’s political scores have divided the German public. “Many chose not to watch the games, while others did. The country is divided and that’s a shame. Soccer must unite people,” he says. “I was proud to see the fans who unconditionally supported their teams.”
