Germany national team head coach Julian Nagelsmann commented on the defeat against Slovakia (0:2) in the qualification for the 2026 World Cup.

If we do not show commitment and passion, then it’s better for us to turn the page. I can’t explain it. Everyone must understand that our goal is to qualify for the World Cup and play an important role there. And today we were far from that. Besides the start of the second half, everything else was very bad.
I don’t want to hear about quality anymore. I will be satisfied if we have the right attitude and commitment. Perhaps it’s time to bet on players with less skill, but who will give their all for this team,” said Nagelsmann in an interview with ARD.
