Flick secured the Champions League, Bundesliga, DFB Cup, DFL Supercup and Club World Cup, and only really ended his time in Bavaria because of a breakdown in his relationship with sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic.</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white;">Germany had a disappointing European Championship, as they tumbled out against England in the last 16.

In the June friendlies they lost 7-0 to Switzerland and 5-1 to the Faroe Islands, and they have lost all three of their World Cup qualifiers by an aggregate score of 10-1. Since the start of 2020, the only teams they've avoided defeats against in competitive games have been San Marino and Gibraltar.</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: Noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white;">Flick will demand an attacking performance with intense pressing and a high defensive line, and I think we'll see plenty of goals here.
