After Spain's early exit, Gunter Netzer talks about the similarities between la Furia Roja and Bayern Munich.

After Spain’s early exit from the 2014 World Cup, Gunter Netzer commented on the reasons that have caused the Spanish team’s demise in Brazil. The German believes that Bayern Munich face similar issues as Del Bosque’s squad. 1974 World Cup winner commented:

“The times are gone when the opponents were glad when they had conceded fewer than five goals. Spain are suffering because other teams have improved systematically.”

Netzer added:

“The bigger problem, however, is home-made. Similar to Bayern under Pep Guardiola, the Spaniards' game suffers in that chances are played out and not translated into goals.”

Moreover, the 69-year-old revealed:

“The point is to partner effectiveness with dominance - in the Spanish national team as well as at Bayern. The philosophy must be even more focused on success.”

The German legend then talked about Vicente Del Bosque’s future and believes Spain’s coach need not be removed from his duties. Netzer stated:

“It is not my thinking that this must also automatically be the end of coach Vicente del Bosque," he continued. It would be wrong to now throw everything overboard, [when] it was seen to be correct just a few weeks before. Football must not condemn you with one blow.”
