Florian Müller (Germany goalkeeper) on ...
... the game:
“It was a brutally tough game for us. In the first half we had too much respect, we didn't get into the duels and we didn't talk to each other. Something was missing everywhere. And they brutally exploited that. In the second half we wanted to show a different face, and we did that too. Even when we were outnumbered, we believed in it until the end, with a 3-2 we would have been well served. But we still have two games, everything is still there. "
... the reasons for the bankruptcy:
“We don't want to look for excuses or pity because we're few people or something.
We did a lot wrong in the first half, we have to work through that, we have to be self-critical.
We don't have to be afraid right from the start in the next game and play bravely, as we did today with a minority.
Then everything is possible. "
Max Kruse (Germany) on ...
... the game:
“We didn't implement what we set out to do.
We haven't made it to the tournament yet.
We didn't run until the pass had already been played and we were always one step too late.
Brazil then relaxed after the red card, but the win would not have been deserved for us either.
We didn't come here to attend the ceremony.
You didn't see that in the first half.
You can already see the Olympic flair, but we'd rather get points. "
