Germany 1 victory in last 4 matches, Liv gets sharp criticism

After the 3.3 draw against Switzerland, criticism of the German national and its coach, Joachim Lev, has returned. Lothar Matthews, former “Pancers”, spoke for “Sky” that what he didn't like in the last fight has been the defence sequence change: “I said before the match the team feels better with three defenders. Jogi [...]
Jogi wanted to try something new again. This has to end now. Gencen, who plays three defenders even at the Atlanta team, was completely overloaded with the new scheme in front of Closterman, who acted as a student of monasteries. Moreover, all the defenders at any moment seemed overloaded.
The space between Ginter and Rydiger was also very large at the centre”, Matthews said. Bastian Schwainsteinger also sees a large deficit in defence. “Ekipi was always behind, but they also showed their character and in the end I can say the draw was the right result. The team has a big problem, it's crossing the defense, said the former player, and simultaneously the expert on German television “ARD” Many recently suffered goals were too much for a national like us and you certainly have to work on it in order to get a chance at the European Championship. Lav has to find a line of protection that someone is convinced of and who knows who can make the leader. We need someone who takes the team by the hands of”.
Germany has won only one match in 4 played in the League of Nations by equalizing three, Switzerland twice, and Spain at home. The only victory came in last weekend's match in Ukraine with a score of 2-1. However, Lev said the team will be ready for the European Championship, which will be played next summer.
