Count two: strategic panic, facing Japan's arrogance, but afraid to fight Spain. The strategy of the German team in this World Cup is completely wrong. In the three group matches, different strategies and tactics need to be formulated according to their own strength. What about Frick? In the face of Japan's arrogance, carelessness and loss of opportunity, in the face of Spain's timidity, it did not dare to take risks and regain the initiative, which led to Germany being in a passive situation and unable to really control its own destiny. It can be said that Frick did not seriously consider how to play in the group stage and did not make sufficient preparations.
Count three: lose the spirit of iron and blood, and give the fate to others in the last game. Back to the opening sentence, people have to rely on themselves! We can see how many chances Germany has against Costa Rica in the second half. Germany scored three goals and three goalposts in the second half, and there were many good opportunities. Why didn't Germany work so hard in the first half? What is the German team doing after the start? If Germany scored three or four goals in the first half, would Spain dare to relax in the second half? Even if Spain still lost to Japan, Germany is fully capable of scoring four or five more goals in the second half, and edging out Spain on the goal difference to win the second place in the group. Why doesn't Germany do this? Because Germany didn't believe it could score eight points from the beginning, it wanted to beat Japan by Spain from the beginning. Germany, which has lost its iron spirit, is not worth advocating. Germany, which wants to be pushed by others, cannot go very far. Give your destiny to others, but don't try. In the end, fate will give the cruelest answer.
