The DFB selection will play their 1001st international match on Friday. It’s in Warsaw against Poland. Where you can watch the game.
The brilliant start with eight wins as national coach is probably only a distant memory for Hansi Flick. After the messed up World Cup and recent poor performances – including the still happy 3: 3 against Ukraine in the 1000th international match in Bremen – the former hope has long since become the focus of critics.
Every game appears as a new chance to turn things around again (at least a bit). The next chance comes tonight in Warsaw in the international match against Poland.
Germany vs Poland on TV and Livestream
If you want to convince yourself of the success (or failure) live: The game will be on TV from 8.45 p.m. on ARD and via live stream in the ARD media library.
Hansi Flick will continue to use the game for testing, as will the last game of the current international phase on Tuesday in Gelsenkirchen against Colombia. After that, the time for experiments should be over. In September it’s against Japan (one or the other may still have painful memories of the 2022 World Cup defeat) and World Cup finalists France. In the September games, a start should then be made on finding and playing in a tournament formation, as Flick explained before the game on Friday: “In September the focus is on stability, the focus is of course even more on winning,” said the 58th player -year-old to the German Press Agency. And further: “It’s just important that you win games because there is more confidence in your own quality”.
Ilkay Gündogan and Robin Gosens, who recently joined the team, could also radiate self-confidence. Gündogan has just won the Champions League with Manchester City, Gosens narrowly lost to the English with Inter Milan in the final. However, Gündogan is not yet used in Poland, but is still being rested. Gosens, on the other hand, is in the squad. Flick also has to do without Timo Werner and Lukas Klostermann, who are out with complaints or injuries.
