Germany coach Hansi Flick was disappointed after his team’s elimination from this year’s World Cup in Qatar.
In the last round, Germany beat Costa Rica (4:2), but they only took third place in Group E because Spain was unexpectedly defeated by Japan (1:2).
Before that, Germany was also defeated by Japan with the same result.
“The disappointment is huge. I don’t blame Spain. I never watch other teams. We have only ourselves to blame for this, we had enough chances, especially against Japan, and also against Spain at the end of the match“, said the coach of Germany.
He believes that his national team needs new players.
“We have to develop players better. We have been in need of new players for a long time, especially quality defenders. We have to return to some basic principles“, said Flick .
