There was said to be too much of a feel-good atmosphere in the DFB quarters during the World Cup: Hansi Flick does not allow this to pass as a reason
While the top nations are full of expectations going into the World Cup quarter-finals, there are still wounds to be licked. In the meantime, the two most important personal details have been clarified with the departure of Oliver Bierhoff and the whereabouts of Hansi Flick. Despite everything, a lot will have to go differently at the home European Championship in 2024.
The DFB team left Qatar weeks earlier than they had actually hoped. Research into the causes of this is in full swing. One of the allegations is that there was too much feel-good atmosphere in the hotel. IMAGEAccording to reports, some DFB employees were surprised at what had happened in the ‘Zulal’ wellness hotel.
In this context, among other things, the word “holiday feeling” was mentioned. There is talk of player wives who were busy taking selfies in the pool while DFB stars played with their children.
Doesn’t necessarily sound like the ideal preparation and full focus on football and success. According to the report, not every DFB star should have been happy with such scenes. After all, there is now enough time for vacation.
Flick does not see family overnight stays as a reason
Hansi Flick does not allow the family overnight stays and the decision to look for a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle of the World Cup to be the reason for the early failure. However, there should also be voices that see things differently. It is therefore to be expected that the atmosphere in the coming tournaments will not be quite as relaxed. In any case, the feel-good tactics were not successful, although the performances were not bad per se apart from the exploitation of chances.
