Germany crashed out of the tournament in Russia at the group phase and the Juventus midfielder is baffled by his own poor performances
Sami Khedira has admitted he must question himself about why he performed so poorly at the World Cup after Germany’s shock exit. Germany were in a strong position to qualify after their last-gasp win against Sweden, but they were stunningly knocked out via a shock 2-0 defeat to South Korea , which is the first time since 1938 that they have not made it past the first round.
Juventus midfielder Khedira has been capped 77 times for Germany and played a key role in their 2014 World Cup victory, and was also named in the team of the tournament in Euro 2012 when they reached the semi-finals.
Khedira headed to Russia on the back of his best scoring season in Serie A as Juventus won the league title for the seventh consecutive campaign, along with their fourth consecutive Coppa Italia crown. Given how well he has played domestically for Juventus, Khedira cannot find an explanation for why he has performed so badly in his two World Cup appearances against Mexico and South Korea.
