Is Lahm the captain of the German team?

According to the words of the head coach of the German team, Loew, the captain of the German team is still Ballack, but Ballack's current situation cannot be called up to the national team, so Lahm is the captain on the field. In fact, Loew said this to give Barak face. Everyone now recognises Lahm as the captain of the German team.

Ballack was injured before the World Cup and Loew handed the captain's armband to Lahm to captain him during the World Cup in South Africa. However, due to his good form and stable performance in the World Cup, he was considered by the outside world to replace Ballack and become the new leader of the Germanic chariot. However, due to Ballack's poor form at the moment, he was not selected for the national team, so the Squirrel captain is still leading the German team to the European Championship qualifiers.

The person who is currently qualified to be the captain of the German team is Ram Piggy, and Piggy has always been not very interested in the status of captain, so it is Ram Ballack is very old, and what Loew said is actually a delaying tactic, not only to keep Lahm's captain's armband, but also to prevent Ballack from pointing the finger at Loew and Lahm

Although Loew has announced that Ballack is still the preferred choice for the German national team captain, only if the former Chelsea player returns to the national team.

Germany will face Turkey on 8 and 12 October respectively, with Balak unable to travel after a six-week injury.

Ballack will probably have to regain the captain's armband until next March, when the European Championship budget starts again.

So now the captain of the German team is still Lahm.

On July 18, 2014, Lahm officially announced his retirement from the national team, ending his 10-year international career, and the official website of the German Football Association officially confirmed Lahm's withdrawal from the national team. Lahm made 113 appearances for Germany, scoring five goals and playing in three consecutive World Cups in 2014 and three European Championships in the same year.

Why did Lahm choose to retire from the national team at an age when a full-back was still in his prime?

First of all, Lam's body is thin and thin, although he relies on speed, technology, and awareness to effectively make up for the shortcomings of his physical condition, and even Ram's left side once became the main side of the German national team's attack, but the lack of body has caused Rahm to struggle very hard in defense, and injuries continue to intrude, although he is only 31 years old, he has been scarred early and gradually unable to do so.

Secondly, Lahm plays for the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, the game tasks are heavy, the European competition is demanding, and then distracted by the national team affairs, for Ram, who is gradually entering the final years of his prime, it is indeed difficult for him, after winning the World Cup, choosing to retire and focus on club events, may be more beneficial to his career.

Finally, based on the needs of the national team renewal, although the German national team has a youth storm in world football, the 31-year-old Lahm has long been one of the oldest in the German national team, considering his own plan, retired at the age of 34, Lahm also prepared enough time for the national team to renew, after all, after the 2014 World Cup, the recent World Series 2016 European Cup, the national team has enough time to choose the right person to replace Lahm.

In short, as the captain of the rigorous German national team, Lahm chose a suitable time to withdraw from the national team, which is a good explanation for all aspects and a wise choice.

I have won all the championships that should be won, and I am over 30 years old, and I retired bravely.

Lahm is a vocal voice and a good communicator between the players and the coach. Lahm is calm, rarely makes mistakes and is one of the few world-class players in the German squad.

Philipp Lahm (born 11 November 1983 in Munich, Germany) is a German footballer who plays as a full-back for FC Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.

Lahm has been training in the Bayern academy since he was a child, and there is a clear difference from the traditional German defenders, short stature, thin body, and it is said that the defense is very disadvantaged, but Lahm uses speed and skill to make up for the disadvantage, and the breakthrough on the left side has become an offensive weapon for the Bayern team and even the national team. Lahm captained Bayern Munich in 2014. On October 28, 2014, Rahm was also shortlisted for the 2014 Golden Globe Awards.

In terms of national team, Lahm has represented Germany in three World Cups and won medals in the World Cups in which he participated: third place in the 2006 and 2010 World Cups and World Cup winner in 2014.

Lahm was a regular in Germany in 2004 and was considered one of the best players in the German team at that year's European Championships.

At the 2006 World Cup, Lahm was the only player in the German team to play all 690 minutes, and was named in the FIFA World Cup All-Star Team and UEFA Team of the Year 2006, and was shortlisted for the 2006 World Footballer of the Year.

At Euro 2008, Lahm played well and was named in the Team of the Tournament with a goal to help Germany reach the final.

According to Loew, he chose Lahm as captain because "Lahm has great skills and leadership skills".

On August 8, the German Football Association officially announced that Philipp Lahm was elected as the "honorary captain" of the German national team, and he also became the publicity ambassador of Germany's bid to host the 2024 European Championship.

2.Lahm ended his career last year with a total of 113 appearances for the German national team, which he helped to the 2014 World Cup triumph. A few days ago, the German Football Association officially announced that Lahm was awarded the title of "honorary captain", and he will also become the sixth German male footballer to win this honor after Walter (1958), Uwe Schiller (1972), Beckenbauer (1982), Mateus (2001) and Klinsmann (2016).

3.At the same time, the German Football Association also announced that Lahm will be the ambassador for Germany's bid to host Euro 2024.

4.The 34-year-old chose to end his career early in the summer of 2017. The double captain of Bayern Munich and Germany made 113 appearances for the German national team during his career, leading the team to World Cup glory in 2014.

In recognition of Lahm's contribution to the German team, the German Football Association officially announced that he was awarded the title of "Honorary Captain", and he will become the sixth German male footballer to receive this distinction after Walter (1958), Uwe Schiller (1972), Beckenbauer (1982), Mateus (2001) and Klinsmann (2016). At the same time, the German Football Association also announced that Lahm will be the ambassador for Germany's bid to host Euro 2024.

5.In an interview, Lahm said he was proud to be an honorary captain: "It's a very special moment, it's a great honour to be on par with Walter, Schiller, Beckenbauer, Matthaus and Klinsmann. As for the job of the ambassador, he is also full of ambition, "I am ready to accept this task."

It's going to be tough to bring the European Championship back to Germany, but I'm going to do everything I can to help the Football Association. At the moment, Germany not only has a large number of the best players, but also has adequate competition facilities. I also believe that Germany has enough experience in organising continental competitions.

Thinking about the success of the 2006 World Cup, I think we should have full confidence in completing the bid to finally get Euro 2024 in Germany. ”

On December 8, Beijing time, the German Football Association officially announced that the retired former captain of the German national team and Bayern legend Lahm officially won the honorary title of honorary captain of the German national team. Lahm became only the sixth player in the history of the German national team to win the award, following Fritz Walter (1958).

On December 8, the German Football Association officially announced that the retired former captain of the German team and Bayern legend Lahm officially won the honorary captain of the German national team.

Lahm became only the sixth player in the history of the German national team to win the award, joining Fritz Walter (1958), Uwe Shearer (1972), Beckenbauer (1982), Mateus (2001) and Jurgen Klinsmann (2016).

Lahm's withdrawal from the national team, I personally think it has a lot to do with the rejuvenation of the German team in recent years (including Loew's "young coach"'s big knife). Since the final unit of the average age counted in each ** is different, the data cited in the answers will not be uniform. According to ** statistics, in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the average age of the 23 players in the Argentine team was 28 years old and 336 days, which was the "oldest" of all the 32 participating teams.

The youngest with an average age is Belgium with 25 years and 241 days, followed by Ghana with 25 years and 244 days. The German team is 26 years and 114 days. In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the average age of the German team was years old, and the youngest was the Ghana team, years old.

It is the youngest German team since 1934, with 14 players under the age of 25 and 12 players with less than 10 international appearances.

In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the average age of the German team as the host country was 27 years and 5 months. Loew has worked with Jurgen Klinsmann in the past three World Cups, and has gained more talent and personnel decision-making power for the use of young players, as well as a lot of experience. As the inheritor and executor of Klinsmann's national team founding ideas, after the 2006 World Cup, he made a series of personnel selection decisions to further rejuvenate the team.

Summary: In February 2004, Lahm made his international debut in a friendly match between Germany and Croatia. In his 10-year career with the national team, Lahm played 113 games for the German national team and scored five goals.

He played in three European Championships, as well as three World Cups, and helped Germany lift the Hercules Cup in 2014.
