Let’s ask our reporter Jonas Gerdes, who followed the game in Bratislava live. Jonas, what do you see the reasons for this simply not performance of the German team.
I think we have now heard it in the interviews in the article. Ultimately, there was no emotionality, passion, will. German basic virtues actually that the national soccer team did not put on the pitch at all. Then added that some national players really had a bad day. Antonio Rüdiger, for example. Simply far too far from his opponent. Participated in both goals, the Collins, played on the right for the first time. Really also a raven -black day had no bond with the game. But he was not helped by his experienced teammates at all. And if you want to want Made think 85 million men, who also had no bond with the game, was left alone, does not get balls, but also does not make balls. So it was hung by this German national soccer team yesterday at all corners and ends.
And what does this embarrassing bankruptcy mean for the future of national coach Julian Nagelsmann?
Julian Nagelsmann has to be measured on this sentence that he wants to win the World Cup title. He fell for the end of the home championship. It is always asked about it and he has now brought into play that he might also be wrong with the squadry, when composing the squad. He criticized himself. That’s good, because of course he is responsible. He is responsible for the fact that the right mentality comes onto the pitch. And I think there is now a lot of talk behind me in the team hotel at the German national soccer team. Because that’s what it is now about how it can be that despite good training performance, despite a good atmosphere in the team, you put so little mentality on the pitch. And the whole thing has to change against Northern Ireland on Sunday at RTL.
Then tell us briefly Jonas we have to worry about the qualification for the World Cup?
This is very funny if you want to use this word, because Germany has a double floor, so to speak, by cutting off in the Nations League. Even if it was only fourth place, we are automatically qualified for the Play Off round. So even if you get second or third, you still have a chance of the World Cup final round in the USA.
