Tiktukno: Summary of today's events in sports, 11.23 (Sport1)
The 2022 World Cup continues to provide sensations, when this time the leading team was Japan who made a turnaround and beat Germany 1:2.
The Japanese struggled in the first half against the 2014 world champions, but Hajima Moriasu's substitutions brought the three valuable points to the Masia team.
Bild attacked the team's players for the loss: "The German team made a fool of themselves. Is the nightmare from 2018 coming back again?", and added, "It is not the carelessness in taking advantage of the situations that is worrying, but also the defense. The back line looks stressed and full of guys in many situations ".
The German newspaper fears the next round: "The team is afraid of the match against Spain, this match is a final and against an opponent they fear - Germany has beaten Spain only once in the last seven games".
Thomas Müller was interviewed at the end and said that they are still not efficient enough in front of the goal: "I feel that we played well throughout most of the phases of the game, but in football you have to turn opportunities into goals. Our efficiency just wasn't there. It's ridiculous to start a World Cup with a loss, but when you see how we concede Goals, you can't say it was a loss we didn't deserve."
The scorer of the goal from the penalty spot, Ilkay Gundoan, added: "We made it easy for Japan. The second goal in particular, these are not things that should happen, certainly not in the World Cup. Neuer saved us several times. We had amazing opportunities to score, but we were not able to translate them into an advantage of 0:2. This must not happen to us again."
At the end of the game, and after the huge drama that brought their team the spectacular victory, the Japanese fans remained in the stands as in the 2018 World Cup and helped to clean the dirt in the area of their seats.
In addition, minutes after the final whistle, the website of the Japanese association collapsed due to many entries from the country's citizens who celebrated the prestigious victory.
