In 2014, everybody thought, okay, Germany are the model to follow.
The FA here in England definitely learned in Germany to find out how they've done things.
And I think you can see elements of that in how England have developed over the last 12 years or so.
And yet Germany themselves have gone backwards rapidly.
So I think there are explanations for that.
It's not that they're not producing players.
They're not producing centre-forwards, but that seems to be a fairly common problem.
Um, but I, I think Yogi Lerf probably stayed on too long.
Um, there's that very odd.
I always had a strange sense of Yogi Lerf that he was sort of wrestling with his own instincts that I think he always wanted to do things with slightly more complicated, slightly more sophisticated.
And every time, apart from 2014 and 2014, they had a slightly iffy group stage.
They, they Nick that game against Algeria in the last 16 in extra time, but don't really play very well.
And he goes for a run along the beach.
And he sort of thinks, right, I've got to go back to basics.
I've got to go back to pragmatism.
And so he moved Philip Lab.
He had been playing in midfield.
He moves it back to fullback.
He brings Miroslav closer back.
So he's got to send it forward rather than trying to play with a false nine.
