German coach Frick
After the game, Frick said, "We missed a lot of goals in the first half and the Japanese team beat us in efficiency." Regarding whether his substitution disrupted the rhythm of the team, Frick said: "We just want to introduce fresh energy to the game. Thomas hasn't played ball for a long time, which is right. These are the reasons why we don't make mistakes, but we did make them, which is why we failed! "
Muller's attitude towards being replaced is: "I didn't ask to be replaced." I could have persisted for no reason until the 90th minute, and there was nothing wrong with my health. The coach certainly has this right, and all his substitutions are understandable. "
German midfielder Gundogan, who scored a penalty in the game but missed many goals, said that it was too easy for the Japanese team to play in the final stage. "Especially the second goal they scored, this should not happen to us. We are playing the World Cup! Neuer actually saved us several times. We scored some incredible goals, but we failed to rewrite the score to 2-0. " Gundogan also criticized some teammates' attitude of "evading responsibility" on the court. "We lack the belief of taking the ball from the backcourt and actively passing the ball forward, so we can only pass it long in the backcourt. You almost have a feeling that not everyone wants to hold the ball, we just lose the initiative too easily. "

German goalkeeper Neuer can't be blamed for the defeat in this game. Before conceding the goal, he actually saved Shunya Ito's goal. After the game, Neuer also expressed disappointment: "We lost the game, and I feel depressed and angry! We created many chances to score goals, but who can be sure of luck! We actually controlled the game, but we didn't feel the urgency of the second goal, and then the opponent pulled the situation back. If you can't seize the opportunity and make a difference on the field, then you will pay the price. This is what happened today. "
The defeat in the first game also pushed the German team to the wall. In the next match, they will face the "matador" who beat Costa Rica 7-0 this morning. If we lose again, the German team will basically bid farewell to Qatar in advance. Four years ago, they lost the opening match and beat Sweden in the second round after the war, keeping their hopes of qualifying. Regarding the next life-and-death battle with Spain, Frick said: "We have to look forward now, and that's what we have to do. We still have six points to fight for, and we have to get these six points. This is our goal. "
Muller, on the other hand, said that it was very bad to be forced to face Sweden in the second round after losing the first round on 20 18. "Now the situation is similar to 20 18, because you need two victories. But in football, the result is not so easy to control. But we know that we have the ability to beat Spain and Costa Rica! "
Neuer doesn't want to discuss the scene of 20 18. He said: "I don't want to recall 20 18 now. We are different teams. Of course, we know that this is a bad start, but it can't be worse! "

According to Japanese media reports, keisuke honda criticized Rudiger's gesture as "teasing" Japanese players.
"THEANSWER" said that in the remaining time of the game, Asano Nagaakira Takuma scored the key second goal, helping Japan 2-/Kloc-0-0 to reverse Germany, and Honda in the commentary was also very happy.
After the game, Rudiger's running posture caused a discussion on the Japanese Internet. Some people think that Rudiger is "provocative", and the Japanese team's reversal victory makes them feel very happy. On Twitter, someone tweeted, "Rudiger deserved it. This is too small. "
Others said: "It's not that the running posture seems to be teasing, but that Rudiger is teasing."
Some people even called for: "Call 2,000 people now and go to the' Rudiger Run' near the German Embassy to provoke it."
Regarding Asano Nagaakira's goal, some people said: "Rudiger's' provocative run' changed the direction of the game."
Someone wrote: "In the morning, the boss who likes football came, and imitating' Rudiger' made people laugh. Don't make people laugh like that in residential areas. "
Another Japanese netizen posted a picture and wrote: "Tang An is definitely talking to Rudiger who looked down on people in the game." In the picture, Tang Anlu, a Japanese team player who scored the first goal, seems to be saying something to Rudiger, while other Japanese team members seem to be dissuading him, while Rudiger, who stood by, seems a little depressed. This photo went viral on the Japanese Internet.
On the other hand, some Japanese netizens think that Rudiger's gesture is not mocking or provocative, and claim that it is his usual action. Someone commented: "Rudiger is not provocative. For Rudiger, this is the fastest way to run. He didn't just run against the Japanese team. "
However, in response to this view, some Japanese netizens posted a report of the Japanese sports media "Football Channel" in September. It is reported that Rudiger made a "fan action" while running in March this year, and was asked about it when interviewed by German media in September. Rudiger replied at that time: "To tell the truth, the atmosphere at the stadium was too quiet, so I was excited on purpose. Moreover, I like to analyze my opponents, and sometimes I have the idea of' what if I irritate the other side'. " Many Japanese netizens quoted the contents of the report to refute the statement that "Rudiger Run" is not "provocation".
