German national team
The current ranking is disappointing, but it's not a sudden result, but an inevitable consequence of underachievement over the past few years under former managers Löw and Frick.

After performing well from 2006 to 2016, the rankings then began to plummet, failing to live up to expectations at two consecutive World Cups and Euro 2020.
Nagelsmann's takeover as head coach of the national team brought a brief moment of frenzy, but Germany's performances under his stewardship have remained underwhelming. In the four games under him, they won the first game against the United States, but then drew with Mexico and lost back-to-back games to Turkey and Austria. The team is loaded with top players, but some former pillars such as Kimmich and Goretzka are currently in poor form. The return of Kroos may bring some changes to the team.
However, what is more important to Nagelsmann is the attitude and mentality of the team. In an interview with Der Spiegel magazine, he said, "I've heard enough of this, that our players all have such great talent." He emphasized the importance of the team's need to take the status quo seriously, try to re-examine themselves, and show their best in matches. This positive attitude will be the key to Germany's return to the top.
