Holmes: Spain's style impacted Germany
Mats Hummels, former player of the German national team and 2014 World Cup champion, stated that the shift in playing style adopted by German football since around 2010—mimicking Spain's approach in terms of possession and short passes—led to a decline in the German national team's results. He explained that this direction contributed to significant changes in the quality of players, as the team lost the ability to dribble and create opportunities through individual effort, resulting in a reduced diversity of talents within the team. Hummels also criticized the way youth talents are developed, considering that an excessive focus on quick results has hampered skill development, leading to a decline in the level of talented players. The German national team was eliminated in the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup by Paraguay in a penalty shootout.
