Philipp Lahm findet, dass der Erfolg Xabi Alonsos eine strukturelle Schwäche des deutschen Fußballs offenbart. Auch an der Entwicklung von Joshua Kimmich sei es abzulesen.

Lahm: Xabi Alonso deckt ein Problem der Bundesliga auf

Weltmeister-Kapitän Philipp Lahm hat Xabi Alonso in höchsten Tönen gelobt – und damit gleichzeitig indirekte Kritik an den anderen Trainern der Bundesliga geübt. Bayer Leverkusens Meistercoach Alonso hebe sich von der Konkurrenz in Deutschland ab, weil er eine andere Idee vom Fußball habe.

„In anderen Ländern, vor allem bei den spanischen und italienischen Trainern, liegt der Fokus auf Struktur und Ordnung. Im deutschen Fußball geht es immer um Mentalität“, erklärte Lahm in seiner Kolumne für die Zeit.

Dies sei der Grund, warum Spieler wie Jude Bellingham, Kai Havertz und Erling Haaland die Bundesliga „verlassen müssen, wenn sie Weltklassespieler werden wollen“. Es sei auch eine „Erklärung für das gesunkene Selbstvertrauen von Joshua Kimmich“.

Lahm: Unter Guardiola trat Kimmich anders auf

Der ehemalige Weltmeister spielte mit Kimmich einst noch beim FC Bayern zusammen. Unter dem damaligen Trainer Pep Guardiola sei dieser anders aufgetreten: „Ich erinnere mich noch sehr gut daran, dass er in seiner Anfangszeit von Guardiolas Führung profitiert hat. Das ist acht Jahre her.“

Heute sei „Kimmich in der Blüte seines Lebens, aber als Außenverteidiger spielt er auf einer Position, die nicht ideal zu seinen Veranlagungen passt“.

Bei Bayer Leverkusen sorge Alonso derweil für erstaunliche Fortschritte seiner Spieler. Als Beispiel nannte Lahm den Verteidiger Jonathan Tah: „Man konnte im Alter von 18 Jahren sehen, dass er ein sehr guter Verteidiger werden könnte. Dann ist er verschwunden. Im Alter von 28 Jahren tauchte er wieder auf. Dieses Beispiel zeigt, wie wichtig ein Trainer für einen Fußballer ist.“

Alonso vereine die Qualitäten seiner einstigen Lehrmeister: „Alle diese Trainer sind jetzt in der Bundesliga zu finden. Benitez, Mourinho, Guardiola: Sie alle sind in Alonso. Auf diese Weise gibt er seinen Spielern Vertrauen und Zuversicht.“

„Die Bayern sind besonders unberechenbar“

Dem reinen Mentalitätsfußball, wie er aus seiner Sicht in Deutschland praktiziert wird, kann Lahm aber auch Positives abgewinnen.

„Der deutsche Fußball hat andere Tugenden. Die Bundesliga hat auch Maschinen. Ihre Bestandteile sind der Kampf, die Leidenschaft und die Härte des Wettbewerbs. Wir suchen den Schlagabtausch, wir geben nie auf und überlassen auch mal eine Chance dem Zufall“, erklärte Lahm.

Die Bayern seien „besonders unberechenbar, aber auch Dortmund kann seine Höhen und Tiefen haben. Ihre Erfolge sind nicht immer ganz erklärbar, und so wird man auch nicht Erster in der Weltrangliste, wenn es eine solche wie im Tennis gäbe. Aber diese Eigenschaften entsprechen dem Fußball.“
