SecondAn outburst like Rudi Völler Hans Frick It absolutely does not exist on the volcanic islands of Iceland. On Wednesday (8:45 pm Beijing time), before the golden anniversary of the national football team’s World Cup qualifiers, the memory of his predecessor’s legendary roar at the airy Laugardalsvöllur stadium brought a new national coach and his Owner Leon Goretzka (Leon Goretzka). Live broadcast of FAZ World Cup Qualifiers And RTL) in Reykjavik, but even after almost exactly 18 years, it still makes you smile.
“We should make sure that Hans does not fall into a similar situation after the game,” said Gretzka On Tuesday, shortly before DFB chose to head to the North Atlantic, it was more for fun. The 26-year-old Bayern professional player stated that he had watched Waller’s long-form video since September 2003, describing it ironically as “good times.”
0-0, bad performance, bad mood, then acid TV criticism from Günter Netzer, Gerhard Delling and Waldemar Hartmann brought the team owner Waller In the anger at the time-in stark contrast to the good mood of the national team, it took on a new look after the six-goal fun against Armenia. “No, it’s incredible,” Flick said of the risk of recurrence. After all, this time “der Lothar” (Mateus) is also a TV expert, Flick blinked and said.
“Only focus on three points”
Even the rain in Reykjavik gave Flick a short break.Before the 100th World Cup Qualifiers DFB-elf Since 1934, the last remnants of Hurricane Ida have disappeared. “We have adapted to the not so good weather.” The national team coach said of the fall freshness below ten degrees. In any case, the mood is not like a low pressure zone.
On the way to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the group’s first position has been regained. March 1: 2 The embarrassment of North Macedonia is still coming Joachim Love Because in the long qualifying history, only one of the three losses was compensated. For the nine-point plan that Frick announced from his first three packs, after defeating Liechtenstein (2:0) and Armenia (6:0), only the last step was missing. After EM’s disappointment, the remaining concerns about the 2022 World Cup in Qatar have been eliminated.
“Winning this game is very important to us, so the whole focus is on getting these three points,” Flick said, before taking off from the Hlind high pressure zone, which is warm in summer, and flying towards Keflavik. go. The tip of southwestern Iceland.
Captain BVB is not on the plane Marco RoyceNot suitable for the game due to slight knee problems, and right back Ridel Baku from Wolfsburg, as the team’s 24th player, according to Reykjavik’s FIFA regulations, he can only sit anyway. In the stands.
As a right-back, Flick can choose between Jonas Hoffman and Tiro Keller and Lucas Klosterman, which has not yet been considered. For Reus, the offensive center has a substitute in terms of quantity and quality. Ilkay Gündogan was the first to play for Goretzka. He recovered from a mild flu. Kai Havertz or young player Jamal Musiala can join the starting lineup. Robin Gosenz played again as a left-back after being injured in the Liechtenstein game.

In the current qualifiers, they are ranked fifth with 4 points, and there is still a long way to go before participating in Qatar.
Nonetheless, an accurate German turbocharged storm again around Serge Gnabry and Timo Werner may be difficult for a strong, physically strong team. “We will have to find a solution on the ground,” Goretzka said. Observing and opening up the space will be his special task-just like his excellent practice for Armenia.
After Flick’s first 11 days as the boss on the DFB orbit, this will also be a matter of concentration. After the Iceland game, he immediately returned to the club. There may be 6 strong Bayern teams starting with 11 candidates will have to play in the Bundesliga at Leipzig RB on Saturday, and then will go to FC Barcelona in the Champions League. But Goretzka didn’t want to consider the voltage drop. “Confirm! The performance of the last game. That is the ultimate goal”, he clearly pointed out the goal against the Icelanders. After all, Flick should have been in a good mood to be interviewed on TV after the game.
