After Germany's World Cup embarrassment against Japan, there is frustration.

Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer clearly criticizes his defense and has a message for Fifa.

Munich/ ar-Rayyan- He's obviously served: Even Manuel Neuer couldn't avert the World Cup humiliation of the German national team against outsiders Japan (1:2).

The 28-year-old Japanese overcame Neuer with a cunning shot from a tight angle - dutifully accompanied by Nico Schlotterbeck.

After the end of the game, the German captain clearly criticized the fact that there was not much going on in defense - as did ARD expert Bastian Schweinsteiger.

“The goalscoring chances that were left behind are clear.

We didn't defend well at the back until the end," Neuer explained to ARD about the reasons for the unexpected defeat against the Asians: "Japan put pressure on us, attacked us one-on-one.

We weren't calm back then.

We would have needed better positioning, like it was in the first half."

In the end, “this unconditional will was the deciding factor.

Japan really wanted to get something, and we thought we'd get it done," he said clearly: "After the game it's difficult to understand how we were able to let that go."

“We may have our bandages taken, but we will never have our voice taken.

And our values,” explained Neuer: “We stand up for human rights.

That's what we wanted to show.

The fact that we may have let FIFA ban us from speaking our minds - we might do that with the captain's armband on the pitch, but we always stand for our values." The idea came from within the team circle.

“We really wanted to do something and we thought about what we could do.

It was clear to us that we wanted to set an example," said the FCB professional in Qatar: "That's a pointer."
