DFB coach Stefan Kuntz has again lamented a lack of support from the Bundesliga after returning from the Olympic Games in Tokyo. He was ultimately dependent on his squad compilation, as many clubs "desire to drive a good Olympic team" to the games, Kunttz said after landing in Frankfurt.

Kuntz had been able to take only 18 instead of the 22 allowed players, in Japan, the fuselage team left the preliminary round. There have been "selfish reasons" in the cancellations, "partly of players, partly of clubs," says Kuntz: "And then Olympia plays no major role in the clubs from the time." That's how it comes together. "

Kuntz had had to renounce Niklas Dorsch and Ismail Jakob shortly before departure, who still abandoned because of a club change. "You can only bypass that by giving a pollution obligation. But it is hanebands to think about it now," said Kuntz. One of the teachings is therefore: "You can and can not drive unprepared in such a tournament."
