On Twitter, TV viewers are furious. Especially after the elimination of the national team at the EM 2021 against England in the round of 16, there was criticism. Jogi Löw answered questions from Jessy Wellmer and Bastian Schweinsteiger shortly after the game had ended. But the moderator duo did not ask particularly critically, rather stroking Löw’s scratched ego with nice questions. There would have been critical questions to the national coach, who changed and switched very late (85th minute) after falling behind.
Jessy Wellmer had a phrase ready with which she confronted the national coach: “All’s well that ends well? Or that ends well, not all well? ”She asked the national coach immediately after the bitter defeat against England. Many ARD viewers were pissed off.

After Wellmer and Schweinsteiger were repeatedly criticized on social media, ARD was even forced to comment. ARD sports coordinator Axel Balkausky defended the duo: “Jessy Wellmer and Bastian Schweinsteiger managed to treat Joachim Löw with respect without being uncritical about the situation.
