What happened? What happens in the last hours before the DFB team’s World Cup opener against Japan on Wednesday? Who plays? All information in the live blog.

8:55 a.m. – Musiala promotes a joint effort with Müller

At just 19 years old, Jamal Musiala is already a great hope for the German national team at the Winter World Cup in Qatar. His outstanding individual skills could be of great importance in the DFB team’s opening game against Japan this Wednesday (November 23, 2022, 2 p.m. CET, live on Erste and streamed on sportschau.de). The youngster would love to play alongside Thomas Müller. “Thomas was born number 10, he knows what he’s doing there. I can then switch to the positions around him: sometimes to the 9, sometimes to the 8, sometimes to the outside.”

At 19, Jamal Musiala is already an important player at FC Bayern and in the German national team. His skills are more in demand than ever at the World Cup opener against Japan.

8:12 a.m. – Schlotterbeck self-critical

Defender Nico Schlotterbeck sees a certain discrepancy between his ideas for Borussia Dortmund and in the DFB team. “I think my performances in the club are very good, but so far there was room for improvement with the national team. The international matches were not yet at the level that I expect from myself and the national coach too,” said the 22-year-old in “Sport1”- Interview. Schlotterbeck has caused three penalties in his six international matches so far.

Thomas Müller reports to Instagram

The new episode of the daily Sportschau World Cup podcast is here. And of course it’s also about the game between Germany and Japan. Beyond sports, the “One Love” armband continues to be discussed. Among other things, national player Thomas Müller also spoke up and tried to explain the DFB decision.

World champion France convinces, Argentina blunders and the DFB team just wants to play football. Before the Japan game, Thomas Müller commented on Instagram.

When and where are you watching the game live?

The German World Cup kick-off is today, November 23, 2022, from 2 p.m. The game is available live on the first and in the stream at sportschau.de. We are also there with the live ticker and a live radio report on Spoprtschau.de.

Germany meets Japan at the start of the World Cup. Is the DFB team starting the tournament better than four years ago? Here you can see the game in the live stream. It comments on Tom Bartels.

How does the DFB team get into the game?

The preparation is different, unfamiliar and due to the tight schedule. Despite the short distances, the Flick team moved to Doha the day before the game. He has not yet revealed how national coach Hansi Flick wants to tackle the game in a sporty way. Just that he’s a fan of the Japanese national team. Leroy Sané will be missing, the DFB-Elf’s great hope is FC Bayern’s super talent Jamal Musiala.

At the start of the World Cup, Germany meets an opponent whose style of play it doesn’t like at all.

At the World Cup in Qatar, the DFB-Elf starts against Japan in the mission of the fifth World Cup star. National coach Hansi Flick makes it clear: “That’s what you’re here for.”

Japan confident

The record Asian champions go into the game against the Germans with self-confidence and a new tactical order. In addition, an almost 30-year-old “Doha tragedy” should be made to be forgotten.
