The German men's national team is under scrutiny following a disappointing June international period, leading to heightened criticism regarding the team's future direction. In response, head coach Julian Nagelsmann expresses ambitions for the next Men's World Cup title, provoking criticism from former Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. He points out that Germany hasn't been a successful football nation since their 2014 victory and emphasizes the need for humility rather than self-declared favorites. Rummenigge also notes that countries like Spain and France outperform Germany, highlighting the urgent need to improve their team quality and resolve striker issues.
Since the 2014 World Cup title, we haven't experienced a tournament that truly made Germany, a football nation, happy.
Teams like Spain and France, and even a few teams from South America, are currently a considerable step ahead.
Germany has always been particularly successful when they haven't necessarily declared themselves favorites, but have approached the tournament with a touch of humility.
We lack the quality to compete at the top, and the striker problem remains unresolved.
