The German European champion kicked Guardiola a good deal

According to 63-year-old Briegel, Manchester City's current head coach at Bayern Munich can be held responsible for the German national team's current crisis.

His statement is also interesting because during the 2014 World Championship victory, many saw a professional relationship between Guardiola Bayern's professional work in Munich and the success of the German national team.

The Germans have reached the semi-finals of the 2016 Eb since 2016, but they did not pass the group at the 2018 World Championship, and they were also leaving the Division B in their Autumn League - the Monday match against the Dutch was already without stakes.

According to Briegel, the weakness of Joachim Löw's ensemble is due to the Pep Guardiola Munich period.

“What we have seen recently is the fault of Guardiola. He told the Germans that possession of 75% of the ball alone was enough for success. This is not the case, however, in football, the result is much more important than controlling the match, ” a former 72-time national defense player said in an Italian newspaper.

"It is not the possession of the ball that leads to victory, as France has shown in the recent World Cup. We have to return to our roots, the key is not the quality of football, but the balance, ” he added.
