“Absolute Nonsense” – Hansi Flick Engages in a Heated Argument With Former World Cup Winner With Germany

Germany, despite a big win over Costa Rica, was eliminated from the Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022. It is the second time in a row they didn’t make it to the round of 16 after the disappointing 2018 campaign. Yesterday was a shocking day for all the soccer fans as two heavyweights, Germany and Belgium, went out of the tournament on the same day. The future of Hansi Flick now will be in danger after the disappointing World Cup campaign.

Former German soccer star Bastian Schweinsteiger was critical of the energy shown by the Germans during the World Cup campaign. Hansi Flick was quick to hit back at the comments of Schweinsteiger after the game.

Hansi Flick is not happy with Bastian Schweinsteiger’s comments

Bastian Schweinsteiger, in his assessment of the German national team in the ongoing World Cup, was critical of the levels of the energy players shown. He was upset with the fact that the team invited unnecessary pressure from the opponents.

When Hansi Flick when asked about the comments made by Schweinsteiger, he denied it and said, “That’s absolute nonsense. What’s that based on?” 

The Germans dominated the game throughout but weren’t able to take their chances. They briefly went behind in the game to Manuel Neuer’s own goal. Germany scored three goals after that, but that wasn’t enough for them to qualify.

Their fate was not in their own hands on the final matchday. They heavily relied on the result in other Group E matches between Japan and Spain. The win for Spain would have taken them to the knockouts. Spain, despite losing to table topper Japan, went through on the goal difference. Germany needed a huge win to overturn the goal difference, but they failed.

Speculation on Hansi Flick’s future

The elimination from the group stage has brought Hansi Flick under scrutiny. The decision not to take any full-time right-back was also a surprise to many. Additionally, playing Musiala on the left wing also made the headlines.

To the question about his future as a German national team coach, Flick replied, “We’ll work that out quickly, it’s difficult to answer now right after the game when we’re eliminated. We’ll see about that soon”.

Although, before the game, Hansi Flick wanted to fulfill his contract with the team. He is under contract until 2024 when the Euro will take place. But there are now calls from the fans that the team should sack Flick. The coach wants the discussion to happen soon as he wants to focus on Euro 2024 with the team.
