The DFB team conceded an embarrassing and historic defeat in the World Cup against North Macedonia.
Timo Werner's campaign in particular caused a stir.
Duisburg / Munich - Actually everything was done, but in the end instead of the next threesome and a flawless record, there was an embarrassing bankruptcy against the supposed underdog from North Macedonia.
The DFB team * lost 1: 2 (0: 1) to the “Red Lions” in the last World Cup qualifying game from still national coach Joachim Löw.
One action in particular was remembered at the end of the game.
Timo Werner's slapstick insert.
It was the 80th minute of the game when Ilkay Gündogan ran up to guest keeper Stole Dimitrievski with a score of 1-1.
Instead of closing himself and increasing it to 2: 1 for Germany, the ManCity star put across the running Timo Werner.
DFB: Embarrassing appearance by Werner!
Chelsea star only gets pity from teammates
Why he is currently struggling to put it mildly at Chelsea FC, he then proved in this campaign.
Because instead of hitting the ball freely into the net from eleven meters, the attacker stumbled the ball next to the goal.
The ex-Leipzig's lack of self-confidence can really be seen in every action at the moment.
After the final whistle there was pity from the teammates.
The national coach * also commented on the missed chance, which may have been decisive in the game.
Because shortly afterwards North Macedonia scored the 1: 2.
We have summarized the votes for the game of the DFB team on RTL.
Ex-FCB president Uli Hoeneß also rumbled there because of the injury to Robert Lewandowski *.
Ilkay Gündogan (Manchester City) after the game about ...
... the reasons for the embarrassing defeat:
“The fact is that this must not happen.
It felt like the North Macedonians were in front of the gate twice.
It's too easy.
We didn't take our chances at the front.
Words fail me a little. "
... Timo Werner's mega chance:
“I'm sorry for Timo, he's the one who wants to score the most.
But we have no choice but to continue.
It is not our claim. "
... his mood after the bitter defeat:
“I'm leaving the national team with a bad feeling because nothing has happened for two months.
We have to be in top form by the end of May and prepare well for the tournament. "
Joachim Löw (national coach) after the game about ...
... the mood in the team:
“We are all very disappointed.
It is difficult to make an analysis now.
But we looked tired today and made too many mistakes.
The enemy was deep and we couldn't find any means.
Overall it was disappointing. "
... the supposed system change:
“We actually played with a four-chain.
We knew that the opponent would come with two strikers.
Robin Gosens should push very far because it would have been too much with four defenders against two attackers. "
... Werner's slapstick insert:
“He usually has to do that.
He has already shown that he can score goals.
If he hits him cleanly, that's a goal. "
... the future:
“The first two games were a good basis, but now we've got it on ourselves.
That is a big disappointment. ”
