Germany produced a poor performance in a 2-0 defeat to Slovakia, showing little energy, fight or effective passing. Body language collapsed after conceding and the team failed to create meaningful chances. Coaching experiments with the starting lineup did not pay off and overall tactical execution was weak. Immediate regrouping and personnel or tactical changes are required to avoid jeopardizing World Cup qualification. The team faces limited time to improve and must display resilience, better passing, and greater urgency in upcoming qualifiers.
Our body language after going 0-1 behind was gone immediately. If you want to win anything, you have to show resilience. The players have to realize that wasn't good. I didn't sense any danger today. The coach can talk all night long, but the players have to understand it for themselves. We'd be lucky to qualify for the World Cup if we play like we did today.
There is not much time to regroup and a lot needs to be changed. Time is ticking... The German national team hit the road to face Slovakia, looking to get off on the right foot for this round of World Cup qualifier action. Julian Nagelsmann - as he is prone to do - did some experimenting with his lineup and it did not work as the team dropped a 2-0 decision.
