Germany has conceded a historic win at home against Japan (1-4), which has confirmed itself as its bête noire. Just nine months after the Central European country hosts the next Euro Cup, his team fell off a cliff against the same opponent that already left him out of the World Cup in Qatar. It is their fourth defeat in the last five games, a run that leaves the future of their coach Hansi Flick in question.
Appointed in 2021 to succeed Joachim Low at the helm of the Mannschaft, Flick already suffered elimination in the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar, “I know that dynamics count a lot in professional football. I don’t know what’s going to happen, I think we tried everything to prepare this team. I think we have done well and that I am the right coach”, he said after the game.
His team plays in three days against France, in Dortmund, a high-profile clash against the world runner-up that could leave Flick on the tightrope. The boos and whistles from the fans have been getting louder at the end of every game in Germany in recent months, a situation that was reproduced in Wolfsburg, where a part of the fans did not even wait until the end of the match to leave the stadium.
Beaten by Belgium (3-2), Poland (1-0), Colombia (2-0) and now Japan, Germany has only beaten Peru (2-0) since they lost in the first round of the last World Cup. A balance that will be difficult to improve on Tuesday at the Westfalenstadion against a French team that has five victories, without conceding a goal, in five qualifying matches for the Eurocup.
