This is the 18th consecutive time that the German team has advanced to the World Cup finals. It will also be the team’s 20th time to participate in the World Cup finals, second only to Brazil, which has participated in the World Cup 21 times. At the same time, the German team has advanced to the World Cup and the European Cup for 26 consecutive times, and the last absence from a major tournament dates back to the European Cup in 1968.
This summer, after the German team defeated in the European Cup, Frick succeeded Loew as the team’s new coach. As of the end of the game, Frick had led his team to five consecutive victories after taking office, scoring 18 goals and conceding only one goal. In the history of the German team, such a complete victory had only been achieved before the start of the game. One month later, the German team will play against Liechtenstein in the world preliminaries. If the team can continue to win, then Flick’s winning streak will surpass his predecessor.
The 25-year-old Werner has two dollars
In this big victory over North Macedonia, 22-year-old Havertz took the lead, 25-year-old Werner scored two dollars, and 18-year-old Mushala scored the national team’s first goal. There is also Mueller who contributed two assists in this game. This is the second time he has contributed two assists in a single game of the national team since September 2017. They are the present and future of the German team. Loew once said this when he left office: “I believe that some players still have the potential to develop. We have a lot of young players. By the time the local European Cup in 2024, they will reach the top level. Everyone. You can look forward to it.” Before the next European Cup, the German team first needs to prove that they are still strong in the World Cup next year. From the team’s performance in the world preliminaries, we can see that this German team can find the predecessors. shadow. “We have won all five matches this season. We must praise the players’ attitude. By November 2022, we will have time to improve ourselves and look forward to challenging this task.” After qualifying for the World Cup in advance, Flick couldn’t hide his joy, after all. This was the first major thing he accomplished after taking office and leading the team for one of the few games.
Frick also specifically talked about Werner who scored two goals in this game. “Werner’s second goal was the best in the game today. When we scored the first goal, it was also He untied the knot.” Werner became the player who has scored the most goals under Frick so far. He has scored 5 goals in 5 games. The German media “Bild” gave him all the goals after the game. The highest score in the field. “Working with Flick is very pleasant. When the coach likes and trusts you, it will be helpful to every player. He gave me 100% trust and I hope to repay him on the court.” Werner also felt after the game. However, this is the first time he scored two dollars in the national team after a year.
Looking forward to the World Cup
At the age of 18 years and 227 days, Mushala became the second youngest goal scorer in the history of the German team. Since last season, he has performed well in Bayern and the national team. In this game, he won the first goal of his national team and contributed his own strength to the team’s advancement to the World Cup. Mushala wrote on his personal social platform after the game: “I am happy for my first goal in the national team, and also happy for us to enter the 2022 World Cup.”
Since this summer, the 56-year-old Frick has taken over the German team’s coach from Loew. The Loew era of the previous 15 years has come to an end, and a new era has arrived. As the champion of the 2014 World Cup, the German team fell into a downturn in the subsequent 2018 World Cup and the 2020 European Cup. The 2022 World Cup in Qatar is an opportunity for this team to prove itself in the competition again, and it is also after the arrival of a new era. The first “big exam”. The strong advancement in the world preliminaries has made people look forward to the performance of the German team in the World Cup one year later. Can this once powerful “chariot” continue the strong tradition of its predecessors?
