Nations League-national coach Christian Wück demands: the “DFB switch”

Nothing is left to be left in the Scottish Football Association. So that the traditional Tannadice Park in Dundee does not offer an overly bleak picture at the home game of Scotland’s footballers in the Nations League on Friday evening, young people under the age of 16 have free admission. 28,000 fans joined here in 1966 in a European Cup game against FC Barcelona on the wooden stands; After several modernizations, the home venue of the first division club Dundee United offers only half of the places.

Experiments in the Nations League

As stable as the stands are now, the scaffolding on the German side is not so viable. Almost three months before the European Championship in Switzerland, national coach Christian Wück has not even found a real axis. The football teacher continues to work on handicrafts-in his dark green training jacket, he once again vigorously talked to his players during the practice units on the DFB campus. His first six caps were a constant up and down. In front of this international player, the 51-year-old was known that he would actually like to be “a little further” with his footballers. This will experiment against the weakest group opponent with the second leg in Wolfsburg next Tuesday.

“We are now expanding the circle a bit. I hope that we are not so wrong with our assessments. “He is” not 100 percent “convinced of some players, said Wück to put together the DFB squad, which is also a search for managers. Sure, Ann-Katrin Berger has finally been officially appointed number one, because the 34-year-old not only brings the most experience, but also the greatest class. “I was able to call up what I can do at the Olympic Games. I may be able to do it even better, «said Germany’s footballer of the year before leaving the island.

Young talent problem in defense

But even in front of the goalkeeper playing in the USA, deeper defects are revealed. Only captain Giulia Gwinn is actually set in the chain of four. Since the resignation of Marina Hegering and Kathrin Hendrich’s injury -related breaks, no defense chief has emerged. Sara Doorsoun was sitting on the bench at Eintracht Frankfurt, Janina Minge actually plays in midfield at VfL Wolfsburg. It also indicates that Bibiane Schulze Solano from Bilbao does not make it to the EM after her cruciate ligament tear. In central defense, the young talent problem becomes blatantly clear.

In midfield, the Frankfurter Elisa Senß and Sjoeke Nüsken from Chelsea and Sara Däbritz, playing in Lyon, currently have the best cards, but there is no approach to the presence of a Lena Oberdorf. After all, the 23-year-old was able to take part in the team training again after her cruciate ligament tear at Bayern, but a comeback has not yet been scheduled. The door to the European Championship will remain open for a long time, but nobody knows how quickly “Obi” reaches the old class again. The clock ticks audibly at this central switch.

And at the front? Center Lea Schüller is not set in Munich. Klara Bühl, who had a record offer from FC Barcelona, ​​already. Your new two-year contract at FC Bayern is reported that it includes an exit clause for 2026-the best German offensive player wants to know where the journey is going.

Worries in the clubs

The fact that the connection was lost at the club level plays no role in the DFB dress for wing striker Bühl. “I am not a fan of comparing the club football to that of the national team,” said the 24-year-old. “As a team and single player, we always have to be there. Then we can keep up with other nations and beat them. ”The Scottish people who are not part of the first category missed the qualification for the European Championship. Nevertheless, Wück demanded that the two games “not with the handbrake to be drawn”. After the lessons for FC Bayern Munich and VfL Wolfsburg in the Champions League, the affected protagonists should “put the DFB switch” in order to demonstrate in Dundee who will be announced here as an eight European champion.
