Barbarz: DFB team as a model for Bosnia-Herzegowina's football future!

The former Bundesliga player Sergej Barbarz, who is now working as a national coach for Bosnia-Herzegovina, has recently expressed his enthusiasm for the German national soccer team. In an interview with the "kicker", the 53-year-old emphasized how much the current development of the DFB team impressed him. "I am very, very enthusiastic about what the German national team is now organizing again," said Barbarz.

Before the upcoming Nation League game against Germany next Friday at 8:45 p.m., Barbarz emphasized that the atmosphere that is currently being created in German football is of great importance. He paid special respect to the sports director Rudi Völler and national coach Julian Nagelsmann, who would have a positive effect with their different perspectives and qualities.

role model and integration

Barbarz is convinced that the German selection is an important example of integration due to its entire appearance. In times when many countries, including Germany, are confronted with social unrest, he wishes that the footballers of today's generation, who have a reference to different cultures, act as role models for all social classes. "And that is important in these times," he added.

The trainer who was born in Bosnia himself and has lived in Germany since 1992 sees the cultural diversity of players a strength and a positive influence on society. He believes that the DFB team has an important role with its mixture of different backgrounds and personalities.

long-term goals for Bosnia-Herzegovina

for Barbarz, the role as a national coach is much more than just a job. "It is my mission. I think it should be so," he said, showing himself to bring Bosnia-Herzegovina back on the road to success in the international football scene. He has signed a four -year contract since April and would like to further develop the team until the 2028 European Championship.

Currently Bosnia-Herzegovina is 75th in the FIFA world rankings. Barbarz has clear ambitions: "Our big goal is the EM 2028. Then we want to be so far again that we can qualify for a tournament. The World Cup in two years will of course remain a dream, but the qualification from pot 3 is difficult." His strategy includes staying power and a clear plan to improve the team sustainably and create suitable conditions for future successes.

The encounter against the German national team will be an important challenge for Barbarz and his team. The trainer sees them as a way to present their players a high level and inspire them to assert themselves in the international football world. As he emphasizes, it will be another opportunity to learn from the far-reaching experience of the DFB team.

These developments and the philosophy of Barbarz show how closely the sport is associated with social issues and that football can be a platform to promote positive changes inside and outside the game. Respect and appreciation that Barbarz expresses for the German team underline the basic values that are also important for the Bosnian national team.
