Flick about the appearance against Armenia: Get goose bumps

With the dynamics in football is sometimes such a thing. Especially with that, who is related to the score. For example, the German international after the only remarkably short-winning game against Liechtenstein (2: 0), that it could have been very different, would have fallen an early goal. You know, because of the dynamics, which could develop such a goal.

Also, the game against Armenia in Stuttgart had such a moment when the ex-Dortmunder Henrikh Mkhitaryan came to the conclusion after two minutes played on the German penalty area. Had he hit the ball better, he would possibly landed in the gate and not in the Stuttgart night sky - and the game may be completely different.

Not even the Armenian players wanted to engage in this thought game on Sunday evening. The DFB-ELF, which defeated the previous leader of the World Cup qualification group J with 6: 0, was too oppressively superior to the previous leadership. Already after six minutes it was 1-0 after a nice gate of Serge Gnabry, which was an even more beautiful preliminary work Leon Goretzkas. After 15 minutes, the team of the new national trainer had screwed to 2: 0, after 45 minutes it was 4: 0 - at 10: 0 opportunities. It was a demonstration of strength and gorgeous - and the receipt for Hansi Flick can not make a team better through pure hand hanging, but probably through clear tactical specifications.

fast, direct and with risk

Unlike in St. Gallen last Thursday, the DFB-EC eleven on six positions, from the beginning, set around what Flick had demanded as the main responsible national coach since the beginning of his first course: she played quickly and directly forward, she was looking for the risk and The conclusion, she decreased the contact times and put in ball loss collectively and energetically. And so consistently and good that you could almost might be, you have to do it with Flicks FC-Bayern team of the past two years and not with the most recently pomady national team from the late stage of Joachim Löw. Even the famous chip balls in the penalty area, who had brought the Munich under Flicks Head to perfection, celebrated their Renaissance in the DFB team.

Game flow from a cast - also with hostz, room and Adeyemi

It certainly helped six Munich in the starting eleven, which had already celebrated successes under Flick in the club. But those who carry other club colors in everyday life, seamlessly emphasized: the attentive and energetic Thilo sweeper (PSG) for example. Or the Dortmunder Captain Marco Reus, who as a tens also put in the DFB-eleven leadership qualities on the day and achieved a goal itself and prepared another. The lecture of the German team looked like a cast - even as in the course of the second half the Youngster Florian Wirtz, David Room and Karim Adeyemi entered the place.

Flick is satisfied - DFB-ECT sets a scale

Eben the Adeyemi was also, which after a double pass with Wirtz half-dozen made up and the previously priority before enthusiasm La-Ola-performing audience finally depressed into the Laue Stuttgart Sommerness. I've already said in advance, in Stuttgart is always a great mood, Flick said when the stadium was already empty, and then sent a compliment to his eleven with one of the nearly 18,000 fans, who previously on the Had celebrated: The team has shown a great performance that spectators cared for a delightful atmosphere. That was a coexistence. That's not possible for a long time. Since you have got a bit goose bumps.

But where is she now, the German national team, after these two as different international matches under Flick? The question is easy to answer: Germany has snapped in one before it goes against Iceland around the next three points in the qualifying round for the World Cup 2022 in Qatar.

And playful? Difficult be to answer that, says Flick and then smiling, his team set a benchmark with the performance against Armenia. However, the game is over now, he closed his remarks, Our eyes now go to Iceland. For a competitive athlete it is the most important thing to focus on the next task.

So that the momentum is also in the right direction next time.
