National team: Özil Khedira and show it to the crises-Bayern

If the German Football Federation (DFB) sends his best to travel, it should be wanting for anything. The times in which national teams have been prepared in the draughty sports school Malente on big tournaments are long gone. Today, the Elite range is housed in the first house on the site, currently in a luxury hotel with magnificent view of Mainz on the Rhine and service as a Sultan's palace.

Already a cappuccino is a work of art - and similarly expensive. The whole thing is topped by the most only place where the press conferences will be held: give the Electoral Palace player and coach their estimates for the European Championship qualifying match on Saturday in Kaiserslautern from Kazakhstan (20.00 clock, ZDF).

Huge chandeliers hang in there pomp of the occupied stuck blankets, royal elegance while the eye drops too. And so DFB spokesman Harald Stenger came in a little joke by not when he recently asked Mesut Özil on the podium. For the star of the "Royal" was specially chosen an appropriate atmosphere, he kalauerte and earned a smile from Özil between "Huh?" And "Very funny ..." The allusion to his employer, Real Madrid, the German-Turks still flattered, even if The Electoral Palace never a king, but hosts various archbishops had.

But the historical inaccuracy Özil will be escaped. The fact is that the 22-year-olds, even after nine months in what is probably the finest football club in the world is still much to be noted how impressed he is from everyday pomp in the capital. And he said about ten times within 20 minutes, how great is the honor to play there, how happy he was to now have colleagues such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.

A day later, sat at the same place Miroslav Klose and Bastian Schweinsteiger. Both quite eloquently than her previous speaker, yet they lacked the internal radiation, with the Özil swarmed by his employer and had blasted his diamonds in your ear to the bet. Where should it come? Both of them will be with FC Bayern Munich, a mediocre season behind him to celebrate at the end of any title.

The contrast between them and Özil like a crack runs through the current squad by national coach Joachim Loew. There, the winners, here are the losers of the post-World Cup season - with the losers are clearly in the majority. National Team Rate the German players! It is a commonly observed phenomenon that players break just for good tournaments in the following year in the league.

In the current accumulation, however, it occurred infrequently. To Klose and Schweinsteiger are joined by their ailing club colleague Holger Badstuber Munich, Philipp Lahm and Thomas Mueller, only forward Mario Gomez as the improved form. Other key players like Per Mertesacker and Arne Friedrich torture since then by injury and poor form.

South-travelers as Cacau, Marcell Jansen, Serdar Tasci and Piotr Trochowski are now not even the extended squad of their clubs. "It can be seen in many, that remains after a hard season, which is still topped by a World Cup, a lot," said Per Mertesacker. However, this should not be an excuse for a professional player, noted Bremer, "because too many competitions and play at the top events being there is, indeed our goal." Maybe even something for a such intense experience as the tournament in South Africa but also simply a new stimulus, when the players come back into their old club environment.

Like a student who, after an exciting class trip to be home perceives as a bleak and boring. Remarkably, there are in fact above all the three actors who have migrated abroad in 2010, which was a leap forward. Besides Özil that rose in Madrid the undisputed playmaker, it's Sami Khedira and Jerome Boateng.

Khedira at Real Madrid has become the constant in the defensive midfield, Boateng got to start trouble at Manchester City last regular operating times of coach Roberto Mancini. Also DFB team manager Oliver Bierhoff looks at the exchange as the main reason for the further development of the trio - especially when Özil.

In contrast to the currently ailing Bayern stars have the German-Turk abroad found new motivation, he said. But even at Loew's problem children, there is prospect of improvement. Per Mertesacker is flirting with a move to England, Miroslav Klose's contract runs out in Munich, and Arne Friedrich refused in the past season to go with Hertha BSC in the second division.

VfL Wolfsburg should be relegated now, he is expected to seek a new club quickly re-determined. A step that may be worth it.
