The German team missed a possible 3: 3 (1: 2) victory against Switzerland and lost the opportunity to take the lead in the Nations League.

Subsequently, however, many German players rated the performance from good to good. Bastian Schweinsteiger spoke clearly about the German defense problem and asked for a defense chief. (The individual review of the German team)

SPORT1 summarizes the voices of the ARD and the press conference together:

Joachim Löw (national coach): “It was incredibly intense. Both teams risked a lot and made a lot of mistakes. After the deficit, you saw very good morale, that was positive. We made one or two mistakes backwards. We wanted to be all over the field. Playing against one was a risk. We have I have to fix the bugs in the back, both teams were open in the back. We fought, I liked the will. You can come out of those setbacks with force. “

… to the system question: “We have to make sure we improve communication at the rear. It is important if we improve on both systems. You also have to be able to vary.”

… on the goals: “We still have a few games left until the Euro Cup, the key is preparation and that all the players are healthy. When we go to a tournament, the objective is always to get as far as possible. Of course. Semifinals are the minimum goal, then we will see. The team really has potential. If we can correct some things, we can wait for it.

… to the next international break: “We have to nominate a bigger team again in November. Three games in nine days is hardly feasible for players who also play internationally. That is an opportunity for one or the other young player. We have to control the players who are under a great pressure. “

Kai Havertz (Germany): “Today we came back after several setbacks. It was a difficult game, but we are still in the process. We have a lot of young players. We will not be deterred from our way. We showed a good mentality in the second We played well at halftime. But of course We have to defend better and more mature in one situation or another. ” (The Nations League tables)

Kimmich: “Take a step in the right direction”

Joshua Kimmich (Germany): “We wanted to play more dynamically and put our horsepower on the road. Our goals were a bit strange. I can’t get the ball out the third time. We have to defend better here and there. But overall, it was a step in the right direction. “.

to defensive weaknesses: “We had no more training courses. We play each game with a different line-up. Each of us is under a lot of stress, and we have hardly had any training sessions together. However, we have to improve our quality on the field.”

Manuel Neuer (Captain Germany): “It’s not nice that the two goalkeepers play 3: 3. We received too many goals. But at some point we held on and then we had control of the game, I thought. We would have liked to win. But you have good approaches in Team seen. We keep looking towards go ahead and we hope to win the games again next season. (The game to read on the ticker)

Toni Kroos (Germany): “We helped a lot with the first and third goals. We didn’t start well in the first quarter of an hour, then we had a good game. In terms of football, we have improved compared to the last game.”

… for game 100: “It was a special match. To have reached 100 is a good mark. In the past I have played with incredibly good players and boys. I hope we can build on these successes with the current team.”

Schweinsteiger calls defense chief

Yann Sommer (Switzerland): “If you are in front three times in the game, you can win the game. We played well on offense in the first half. We forced Germany to make mistakes. But in the end the result was too small for us in the group.” Ukraine won, now we need two wins in two games. We wanted to beat Germany and we made good approaches, but in the end something was missing to score three points. “

Bastian Schweinsteiger (ARD expert): “Coming back and forth sometimes reminded me of an ice hockey game. Serge Gnabry is in great shape, he scores an excellent goal. We had one more offensive player on the field, so there was more joy playing. The changeover movement It’s defensive. The big problem. When you defend, you have to think first about defending and not about advancing. We have conceded seven goals in the last three international matches, six of them at this stadium. You have to work on that to have a chance at the Euro Cup. Time is not given. You have to find the defensive line you are convinced of. You have to find the spokesperson. I miss someone who takes the reins in this situation. ”(Nations League results and calendar)

… about performance: “The team has shown character. We have to correct mistakes in preparation. You saw the joy in offense, there was more vigor. We have to learn to defend better, we have to think more about that.”

… about Switzerland: “The Swiss national team is not the absolute highest level in Europe. I liked that they wanted to win the game today. It was a good test because in the European Championship all the teams want to win the games after the group stage.
