Germany blunders at the start and loses against Japan – Andreas Möller lacks the "biliousness"
+++ 2:22 p.m .:
After the protest by the German national football team in the run-up to the 2-1 defeat against Japan at the 2022 World Cup on Wednesday (November 23rd), Belgium’s captain Eden Hazard commented on the action: “It would be better if they hadn't done it and won.” This was reported by French radio
RMC
after Belgium's 1-0 win over Canada on Wednesday evening.
Before the game against Japan, Hansi Flick's team had demonstratively covered their mouths during the team photo.
FIFA had previously threatened consequences for wearing the "One Love" captain's armband.
According to
RMC
, Hazard added: "We're here to play football, I'm not here to spread a political message, other people are better suited for that.
We want to focus on football.”
+++ 11.13 a.m .:
After long discussions about the “One Love” captain’s armband and the protest against the human rights situation in Qatar, the Danish players at the World Cup should only concentrate on their sport.
When asked about the "One Love" armband for Danish players Andreas Christensen and Jesper Lindström, the media director of the Danish federation DBU, Jakob Höyer, stepped in: "I will answer this question.
As I said before, we are here to talk football.
We want to talk about the game against France and we already answered these questions yesterday.”
Update from Thursday, November 24, 10:10 a.m
.: There is a strict ban on alcohol in the stadiums at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Only at the Fanfest do the beer stands open after 7 p.m., guests cannot get alcohol there before that either.
A fan of World Cup participants Mexico did not want to put up with it and tried to circumvent the alcohol ban in the stadiums.
As videos on social media show, the Mexican had binoculars with him and prepared them in such a way that he wanted to smuggle alcohol into the stadium.
The man was caught in the act by the security guards in front of the stadium and did not come into the stadium with the alcohol.
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.
