Former German footballer and coach Hans-Peter Brigel believes that Pep Guardiola’s tactics are the cause of the German national team crisis..

"This is the fault of Guardiola, after his arrival in Bavaria, something changed. He misled us that to win it is necessary to possess the ball 75% of the time, "said Brigel.

"But this is not true. We forgot about a very simple principle: in football, the result is much more important than control over the game.. To win is not enough to own the ball, France proved it by winning the world championship ".

"You can win, even returning to a more traditional style of play. The quality of football is not as important as the right balance ".

The German national team failed to leave the group for the 2018 World Cup, and after Mundil, the team of Joachim Loew continues to look unconvincing after flying to Division B of the League of Nations.
