Germany coach, Joachim Low has stated that his side were not dynamic as they usually are during their 1-0 defeat to Mexico on Sunday. The Mannshaft suffered a shock defeat in their opening game of the 2018 FIFA World Cup and Low stated that his side would have to improve in subsequent games.
“In the first half the impression was that we were not as dynamic as we usually are and in the second half I didn’t have the impression we were losing strength. It was not a lack of stamina that meant we could not turn the match around. As a player in a World Cup you have to accept pressure. We will certainly not change our match plan. In the first half, to a large extent, the players were coming back trying to recover the ball instead of playing deep, if we are not more incisive we will lose the ball. We have to focus on our strong points,” Low said.
