Germany came out of the World Cup with its "head down" for the second time in a row, just like in 2018.
The national team disappointed in its performances, especially against Japan, a loss that cost them in the overall balance as well as aggravated the "climate" in the dressing rooms.
Finally, it is SportBild that highlights one of the reasons for the German failure as it writes that a good part of the players were against the coach Hansi Flick because according to them he was favoring the players of Bayern Munich.
At the head of this rebellion according to SportBild was Chelsea's Kai Havertz, followed by Manchester City's Ilkay Gundogan, while Marc-Andre Ter Stegen was on the same line. The latter accuse Flick of favoring players like Muller, Goretzka or Neuer.
Flick was previously in charge of the Bavarians and maintained very close relations with some players, however SportBild's claims remain unproven with the "actors" involved still not reacting. On the other hand, Flick is increasingly in doubt whether he will continue his career at the head of the national team, as the failure at the World Cup is expected to be accompanied by consequences for the 57-year-old.
