"“I can't say that at all,” Hoeneß declared in recent comments captured by @iMiaSanMia. “Because the German team has never played with the same eleven in two consecutive matches.” “And that's something I hold against [head coach] Julian [Nagelsmann] - I've already told him personally. If you go to a World Cup and don't have a truly world-class team, which in my opinion we don't have at the moment, then - as Vincent has demonstrated - you can only be successful through the team, through the team structure.”"
"“But currently, I don't see a clear lineup at either end of the pitch. Who is our striker? Who plays in goal? Who is the right-back, who the left? And if things continue like this, we'll end up fielding a team for our first World Cup match that has never played together before. And that doesn't work.”"

Germany cannot be considered a World Cup favorite because the national team has not used the same starting eleven in consecutive matches. Uli Hoeneß criticizes Julian Nagelsmann for not having a truly world-class team and for failing to establish a stable lineup. Success at a World Cup is described as depending on team structure and cohesion rather than individual talent. Hoeneß says there is no clear striker, goalkeeper, or fullback pairing, and that continuing uncertainty could force Germany to field a first-match team that has never played together. He implies the coach needs outside advice to resolve the situation before the tournament begins.
