Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Coach Hansi Flick called for urgent changes to Germany\u2019s football youth development, after the \u201chuge disappointment\u201d of elimination at the group stage for the second World Cup in a row.<\/p>\n

Despite beating Costa Rica 4-2 on Thursday, Germany were dumped out on goal difference after Japan pulled off a shock 2-1 defeat of Spain in the group\u2019s other game on a nail-biting night in Qatar.<\/p>\n

Prior to the match, 1990 World Cup winner and former Germany manager Jurgen Klinsmann said another group stage elimination would be \u201cten times more of a disaster\u201d than the side\u2019s early exit from Russia four years ago.<\/p>\n

After Klinsmann\u2019s worst fears came true, Flick said Germany needed significant changes to its junior development system to remain competitive with other nations.<\/p>\n

Flick, who took over from Joachim Loew after the European Championship last year, said Germany needed to look to other countries for ways to improve, singling out Spain.<\/p>\n

Acknowledging that there was \u201chuge disappointment\u201d in the dressing room, Flick said: \u201cWe have players who play with top clubs and we do have the quality (but) I believe that for the future of German football, we need to do things differently in training.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor years we have been talking about new goalkeepers, new wing backs, but what was always good (in the past) is that we could defend well \u2014 these elements are things we need.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need the basics. Even though Spain lost, we should look at Spain. Spain are very good in defence, they focus on the training of younger players and they know their attacks well.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Germany hosting the next Euro in 2024, Flick also suggested the side needed to pursue a generational change.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be very important to focus on the new generation of footballers,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are good players for the future, but for the next ten years, it is very important that we make the right steps now\u201d<\/p>\n

Flick pointed to 19-year-old midfielder Jamal Musiala \u2014 who came through the English football development system before switching to Germany in 2021 \u2014 saying \u201cit is just unfortunate a player like that cannot stay in the tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s fantastic. His skills in the tackles, the one-on-ones – he is outstanding.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flick said wanted to stay on as head coach and lead Germany into their home European Championship, but admitted \u201cit won\u2019t be up to me. From my side, there is no reason not to continue. I enjoy it, we have good players coming through,\u201d the 57-year-old coach said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy coaching team and I did a good job \u2014 we prepared the team well. But it wasn\u2019t enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
