Gundogan: “To be honest, Japan were the better team today, both defensively and offensively. They kept finding space and Japan did everything better than us, you have to admit that. We made too many individual mistakes and gave them four or five chances to face Terstegen directly and that shouldn’t have happened.”

“We have to admit that we were not able to match the pace of an opponent like today in all aspects of the game, which is difficult and disappointing because we have certain demands on ourselves and the way the game went spoke for itself, at some point our needs were too far from reality, we are not good enough at the moment, that is the reality,” he said. Maybe we thought we were better off than we were. It’s me. I trust coach. In a way, it’s not about the coach anymore, it’s about the team having to look at themselves.”
