Criticism leveled at the individual members of Germany's national football team
In a disappointing outing for Germany, they faced a 0-2 defeat against Slovakia in the UEFA Nations League 2022/23 match held in Bratislava.
The game saw several changes in the German lineup, with Amiri moving to the number 10 position after the 0-2 scoreline, but was unable to turn the tide. Meanwhile, Kimmich's comeback in midfield, expected to provide stability, did not yield the desired results.
The German defence faced a significant challenge, with Sauer, a player from the opposing team, posing a threat throughout the match. Collins, a player from Frankfurt, made positional errors against Sauer and was substituted at halftime. The veteran player Rüdiger looked out of sorts, being outplayed by Sauer, leading to the first goal. Tah and Baumann, the defenders, also struggled to provide stability to the defence, with Baumann making some good saves but being powerless against both goals conceded.
On the offensive front, Gnabry worked hard defensively but was injured early on his left arm and could not provide any offensive impetus. Goretzka looked lost on the more offensive number 10 position and missed a goal opportunity shortly after halftime. Wirtz, like in his recent performance in Liverpool, is currently lacking in success, with his turnover contributing to the 0-1 scoreline.
Substitutions did not seem to improve Germany's performance. Adeyemi, who came on for Gnabry, didn't make an impact as a substitute and was shown a yellow card. Stiller, the Stuttgart player, was substituted after the 0-2 and did not shine offensively or defensively.
Mittelstädt, a player from Stuttgart, had some good offensive actions and was moved to the right side to replace the struggling Collins after halftime. Raum, who came on at halftime as left-back, ran up and down but could not make an impact.
In a surprising turn of events, the identities of the German players who were substituted after halftime could not be found in the available search results. Woltemade, the U21 EURO top scorer in Slovakia, was ineffective in his return to the game and missed a big header chance.
The loss marks a setback for the German team, who will look to regroup and improve their performance in their upcoming matches.
