Germany national team’s midfielder Joshua Kimmich shared his thoughts on the reasons behind the team’s defeat in the match against Slovakia (0:2). This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The match took place on Wednesday as part of the 2026 World Cup qualifying stage. The goals were scored by David Hanzko and David Strelec in the 42nd and 55th minutes respectively.
According to Kimmich, the defeat was not related to the system, tactics, or the number of defenders, but rather there was a problem with the team’s mental state. He emphasized that they need to play better in the next game and that supporting each other is important.
“We played very badly. Before the game, we said that we want to win the World Cup, but first we need to get through the qualifying stage.
If we continue to play like today, it will not be easy,” said the midfielder. Germany national team has five more matches ahead in the qualifying stage.
The next opponent is the Northern Ireland team, and the match will be held on September 7. The team will try to win this game and strengthen their position in the qualifying stage.
