World Cup 2022: Möller lacks "biliousness" in the German team
First report
: World and European champion Andreas Möller criticized the lack of duel toughness of the German national players after the 1:2 against Japan at the start of the World Cup.
“Our team lacked biliousness.
At the front when exploiting good chances, at the back in the decisive duel situations, where we missed the “German virtues” that were praised in the past!
That just doesn't work at all at a world championship and certainly not at the first appearance," wrote the 55-year-old in a column for the
Kicker sports magazine
.
Players from other nations perceive lost duels as “a personal insult”.
"In this respect we are too soft", complained Möller.
For the second group game against Spain, his hopes rested "on the undisputed great quality in attack," wrote Möller.
"Fight, bite, don't give up an inch against Spain, without these virtues we will have to say goodbye to the tournament." (smr with dpa)
