Bayern Munich legend, Bastian Schweinsteiger has come out to say that Pep Guardiola is partly to blame for the German national team’s decline. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the reality is that Germany lost some of their values because of the way the Spaniard coached during his time in the Bundesliga, and it has affected the nation negatively since then.

Schweinsteiger added that the German machine era of football the world knew has gradually faded away in the last 8 years.
His words, “When Pep Guardiola joined Bayern Munich, when he came to the country, everyone believed we have to play this kind of football, like short passes and everything. We were kind of losing our values.”
“I think most of the other countries were looking at Germany as a fighter, we can run until the end and everything. The strengths got lost through the last seven, eight years. We forgot about that and were more focused on playing the ball nicely to each other. That’s one of the reasons.”
