Germany’s young team will need to be given time to improve and dispel a cloud hanging over the team after their recent performances, the coach and players said on Tuesday.
Team director Oliver Bierhoff on Monday had complained about a “dark cloud” over the team following their one win and four draws in their last five games, as viewing figures drop and criticism in the media grows louder.
The Germans, world champions in 2014, crashed out of the 2018 World Cup in the first round and were relegated in the Nations League that year before starting a team overhaul in March 2019.
“These young players deserve to be given some time. My job is to give them time and trust. It will pay off,” Joachim Loew said, however, about players.
