National coach Christian Wück: Because the method must suit the people

Reading time: 4 min.
|In the quarterfinal against France, the German national team will also have to find out whether the transition under national coach Christian Wück will be successful. Is he up to the task?
This week got off to a delayed start for the German national team in terms of football. On Monday, a training-free day, everyone was able to put some distance between themselves and the crushing 4-1 defeat to Sweden in the final group match of the European Championship. On Tuesday, national coach Christian Wück gathered the players around him on the pitch in Zurich before training began. And if there is ever a documentary about the tournament in Switzerland, this scene will definitely make it into one of the episodes, accompanied by dramatic music. In the heavy drizzle, Wück gestured and moved around the team circle with a stern expression. The players looked concentrated, even embarrassed. He had never opened a session with such energy before.
