Already in crisis, Germany conceded a resounding defeat against Japan (1-4) this Saturday in a friendly.

Germany is doing badly, it’s confirmed. Already in shock from its elimination in the first round of the 2022 World Cup, the Mannschaft is struggling to rebuild itself, less than a year before its Euro 2024.

Already in crisis, Hansi Flick’s team took another slap against Japan (1-4) in a friendly match in Wolfsburg. Leroy Sané (19th) had nevertheless responded to the opening score of Rémois Junya Ito (11th) but the Japanese, who had already hurt the Germans very badly during the World Cup in Qatar, regained the advantage through Ayase Ueda (22nd) .

Despite the coaching of Flick, who played without a professional center forward (with Kai Havertz then Thomas Müller), it was Japan who hit the nail on the head at the end of the match with two players from Bochum and Düsseldorf, Takuma Asano (90th). ) and Ao Tanaka (90th+2).

Before this gathering, the German press was already wondering about the future of Hansi Flick, mentioning the names of Julian Nagelsmann and Oliver Glassner as possible successors. The former Bayern Munich coach could play his head on Tuesday evening during a new friendly against the France team in Dortmund.
