There's much less in it than the headlines imply if you listen to the full dfb presser again, as I just did.
Don't forget, Löw and his team are under immense pressure now, after letting down a full nation (on title defence).
Anyone is annoyed about the management of that desaster. President, DOS Bierhoff, Löw.
Anyone is fed up about talking soft, German public is expecting to speak out plain and clear now (that's part of our culture and has a good and also a negative side, I know). That's what Löw and Kroos were asked to do in that presser. And they tried to.
Some say the reason for the WC f**k up was the system, possession game.
But most say the real problem was poor attitude, even arrogance on and off pitch.
So attitude is THE topic right now for the German squad.
At the end of the presser - Löw and Kroos, 1hr 15min! - Kroos was being asked to explain the type of player and the type of human Leroy is.
Kroos was very complementary about Sané, but also pointed out what many of us (me included several months ago) have seen and posted.
Kroos talked about Leroy's outstanding and even unique potential in German football, also talked about his great season at City.
But he also said Leroy is young and needs some good advice to become more consistent.
Last question of the presser was about Leroy again, asking why he was left out of the squad when Leroy is a great player, and Kroos said it was based on former performances, which were below expectations, and his body language during matches and in training, which Kroos as a team mate surely must know even better than us.
Bottom line, no news really.
German football is in crisis. Kroos as one of the leaders had to speak out plain.
Relax lads, it's not about City at all. If we're honest, Leroy has to work much harder
when he wants to become a player like Christiano R. - and not someone like Nasri.
