Matts Hummels, the former player of the German national team, criticized the transformation that German football has undergone in recent years. He pointed out that mimicking the Spanish style of play, which relies on possession and short passes since 2010, has harmed the team's ability to maintain its historical strengths. He emphasized that this approach has contributed to a decline in dribbling skills and individual impact, noting that players capable of such skills have become rare. Moreover, an excessive focus on quick results has negatively affected talent development and the cultivation of diversity within German football. Germany was eliminated from the 2026 World Cup in the Round of 32 after a penalty shootout loss to Paraguay.
