Germany's national team faces a significant transition with the retirement of four key players, impacting both on-field dynamics and team leadership as they prepare for future competitions.
The four players combined for 451 appearances over a decade, marking a successful era that includes a 2014 World Cup victory, but recent tournament performances have been disappointing.

With players like Musiala and Wirtz emerging, Germany's future still holds promise, but the path to developing strong leaders in their new lineup remains uncertain.
