Hans-Dieter Flick, head coach of the German national football team, responded to criticism after the team’s elimination from the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar. His words are quoted by Bild.

Flick called the allegations of the unwillingness of the players to play complete nonsense. “Everything was decided by the unsuccessful 20 minutes in the match with the Japanese and the end of the game with the Spaniards, when we failed to win,” the specialist explained.

On December 1, Germany defeated Costa Rica 4-2 in the match of the third round of the group stage, but did not qualify for the playoffs. The Germans scored four points and took third place in the table of group E, losing to the Spaniards on the difference between goals scored and conceded.

The World Cup in Qatar started on November 20 and will last until December 18. The Russian national team misses the tournament due to the sanctions of the International Football Federation.
