How Takuma Asano reacted to questions about Hansi Flick?
During April 2022, Asano was asked about his opinion on the German manager Hansi Flick but, the VfL Bochum player was unaware regarding the identity of Flick. Notably, this interview was conducted by ZDF when Hansi Flick visited to watch a VfL game in the stadium. In response to the aforementioned question, Asano questioned back “Hansi Flick? What is that?”
At the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Germany suffered 1-2 loss against Japan in their opening match. In the game, Takuma Asano scored the game winning goal for Japan and following this goal, he was labelled as a hero by Japanese football fans. Recently, Germany clashed against Japan in an international friendly and were eager to avenge their defeat. However, Japan outplayed their rivals to win 4-1 thanks to goals from Junya, Ayase, Takuma Asano, & Tanaka.
Why Germany sacked manager Hansi Flick?
After losing 1-4 against Japan in a friendly on Saturday night, Germany fired head coach Hansi Flick. The German Football Association (DFB) has determined that it is vital to take action at this time because the nation is scheduled to host the European Championship finals next summer. Since the position’s inception in 1926, Flick is the first Germany manager to have been fired. In command of Tuesday’s friendly matchup with France will be the former striker Rudi Völler, together with Hannes Wolf and Sandro Wagner.
Flick had survived a dismal World Cup in which Germany was eliminated in the group stage, but things have not gotten any better as the team has lost all five of its recent games. On Sunday, the former head coach of Bayern Munich participated in practice before being fired. The 58-year-old quit his job at Bayern in May 2021 to take over as head coach of the national team in lieu of Joachim Löw. He signed a three-year deal that was meant to last through the conclusion of Euro 2024, but Flick left after 12 victories in 25 games.
