The German national team sneaks off the field after the friendly against Ukraine.

The European Championship will start in Germany on June 14 next year. But a year ahead of the opening game, the hosts seem anything but ready for another summer fairytale.

On Monday evening, the DFB-Elf fell back to a 3-3 draw after a mediocre performance in the friendly against Ukraine, the equalizer only came in extra time via a penalty kick. After Qatar’s elimination in the World Cup qualifying round and the mixed friendlies afterwards, it is the next disappointment.

“Welcome to Mediocrity”

Disappointment, which was also reflected in the German media a day after the game. “That’s far too little, Mr. Flick!” headlines the “Bild” and sends an ironic request to UEFA: “Can we perhaps postpone the home game to 2028?” For the newspaper it is “incomprehensible” that trainer Hansi Flick (58) puts the three promises Havertz, Wirtz and Musiala on the bench.

The “kicker” writes about an alarming mood in the German camp and a national coach who makes a “perplexed impression” on the sidelines. In addition, the German team’s appearance was “not consistent from start to finish”.

“Welcome to mediocrity” is the harsh verdict of “Spiegel”. You can be happy that the host automatically qualifies for the European Championship final. Due to the defensive problems, “Eurosport” writes of “no stability” and believes that Flick should reconsider his team selection.

Whistles in Bremen

But it is not only in the media world that people are annoyed by the performance of the German national team. The spectators in the Bremen Weserstadion, where the match against Ukraine was the first international match in eleven years, were also dissatisfied and mercilessly whistled at the DFB stars when they were 3-1 behind.

“You can see that we are not being brutal at the moment. We have to keep working on that. We know it’s a process,” says Hansi Flick after the game. One thing is clear: if there is no result in the upcoming exhibition games against Poland and Colombia, Germany threatens a heated coaching discussion for the home European Championship. (byl)
