In the World Cup qualifiers held early this morning, Germany lost 0-2 away to Slovakia. German goalkeeper Bauman was interviewed after the game.

There was something wrong with Germany's defense

I think Slovakia did a better job of competing for the second landing point, and we failed to try to compress space, control the second landing point, and make the game more compact and safer. The opponent has more passion and creates some opportunities as a result. Although we have some opportunities, we lack goals and cannot find the rhythm of the game. Today's game feels like the opponents account for 80% of the active momentum.

German players lack some basic work in the game, such as the willingness to run, aggressiveness, confrontation, etc. We must clearly solve this problem, and these problems do exist. However, we cannot completely deny ourselves. In this game, it is a warning that we must do the basic work well. If we can do this, we will have the ability to play well, but first of all, we must lay a good foundation, and we must work harder in this regard.

What happened in the locker room?

Apparently, I will not disclose what is inside the locker room here. I, as I just said, we pointed out this issue clearly. I believe that if we improve one or two levels of performance in this area, things will get better again. Of course, this time was indeed a setback.
