Heynckes: DFB Team Needs "Renewal"

Munich (SID) - Coaching legend Jupp Heynckes sees European champions Italy as a shining example for the DFB eleven under national coach Hansi Flick. "The German national team needs a renewal. It needs young, highly talented players who can still develop. It needs to go the way of the Italians," Heynckes told kicker, demanding, "You have to trust the young players and, above all, work with them." Jupp Heynckes calls for changes in the DFB team Heynckes cited European Championship participants Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala as well as Florian Wirtz and Ridle Baku as examples. "In the U21s, which were European champions at the beginning of June, there are some interesting guys on offer," he added. He expects more presence from Flick than his predecessor Joachim Löw had shown. "As national coach, I have to go to the clubs, maintain contact with the coaches and players. A national coach has to be inspirational for the entire Bundesliga and set an example. Hansi Flick will do that." In his dealings with players, Flick must "promote the human component," Heynckes stressed, "as he practiced at Bayern." The 76-year-old came down hard on Löw. Other coaches, such as Italy's Roberto Mancini or Denmark's Kasper Hjulmand, "have prepared a team in an exemplary manner: I missed that with the German team." Löw had brought back Thomas Müller and Mats Hummels too late and should also have reactivated Jerome Boateng, "the best central defender of the past league season." Löw had also rehearsed the system with the three-man backfield too late. Heynckes painted a bleak picture of the future. "It's a glaring problem in German soccer that we no longer train any outside defenders," he said, "In addition, we don't have any center backs with world-class caliber and no center forward with international class. Great teams need a target player." The 2022 World Cup should therefore only be "an interim goal, nothing more. It's more important that the team is renewed." ------------- You can order one of the most humorous books of all time----------------------- Satire is my favorite by Wolfgang Hampel:------------- national & international--------------------- USA , United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Germany, Hungary, Japan , Japan, Mexico, Austria, Austria, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Wolfgang Hampel on the SWR 3 television program HERZSCHLAG-MOMENTE on Saturday, August 3, 2019, at 9:50 pm.
