Germany is in a black crisis. It seemed impossible for a team that won the World Cup just 4 years ago, but after the failed Russian expedition, the team of Low has not been able to recover. The heavy 3-0 remedied last night against the Netherlands is yet another confirmation of a movement to be reformed.
With the victory of the 2014 World Cup Germany seemed able to open a crazy cycle. The ingredients were all there: champions already established despite being young, emerging baby's talents and a cohesive group.However, the path of the men of Low stopped abruptly on 2 July 2016 in Bordeaux, the date of the last prestigious victory for the Germans.
That evening we played Germany-Italy and the game was resolved, in favor of the gialloneri, after the penalty shootout.Low had won the semifinals of the tournament and seemed to repeat the success of the World Cup.The rock that separated from the finals, however, was called France, which with a net 2-0 had sent home Low & company.
From that day, nothing has been the same.
It is true, the path to Russia 2018 was quite clear, but it is equally true that Norway, the Czech Republic, Northern Ireland, San Marino and Azarbaijan have been too soft opponents.In fact, already in the friendlies that preceded the World Cup there were some crack (defeats against Brazil and Austria), and once landed on Russian soil, Germany has sunk incredibly.
Low has been confirmed by the federation, but even the post-World Championship has reserved glory for the National Main shaft.Even the Nations League is proving a failure and, after the clear defeat against the Netherlands in 3-0, the relegation in League B of the Group 1 is now imminent, with possible repercussions also in the Europe 2020: the crisis of Germany It is now well established and the light at the end of the tunnel, at least for the moment, is not seen right.
