Former Nigeria head coach Berti Vogts has stated that many Germany players don’t deserve to play for the national team.
The former German coach made this known when assessing the defending champions performance at the ongoing Russia 2018 World Cup.
Germany were knocked out of the tournament after suffering defeats against Mexico and South Korea – the first time they have not made it past the first round since 1938.
Vogts, who steered Germany to European Championship glory in 1996, told Eurosport, “I assume that the German Football Association will part with many players as they do not deserve to continue to play for our national team.
“That was not worthy of a German team. They have shown no will, it was all too slow.”
As reigning champions, Germany were one of the favourites, alongside Brazil, to win this year’s World Cup.
Despite the poor performance, the former Super Eagles coach has revealed that he still trusts Joachim Low to lead the national team moving forward.
Vogts – who won the 1974 World Cup as a player – believes that Germany need to look at their successful Under-21 team, who won the U-21 European Championship in 2017, to create a completely new side moving forward.
“We have to build a new team, the people in charge know each other well in football and they have hopefully seen which players are no longer going to belong in the team,” he added.
