Hupu September 5th After the German team lost to Slovakia 0-2, German legend Mattus accepted an exclusive interview with Germany Sky Sports, criticizing the team's performance and Naglesmann's tactical attempts.

The German team's performance in Slovakia surprised, shocked or confused you?

"It's nothing to lose 0 to 2, but the key lies in the way of losing. What shocked me even more is the way we play football, which is simply scary. To be honest, 0 to 2 is already a lucky one, and this game may easily become 0 to 4 or even 0 to 5."

What do you think is the problem?

"If you lose and the goalkeeper is the best in the team, it means that there is a big problem. The quality of the players is there, but they are completely unacceptable to Slovakia's pressing, and they are caught off guard. We didn't find the right attitude in the whole game."

Do you think there is something that makes you particularly dissatisfied?

"Yes, it's this kind of constant experimentation. I can't see what system we are playing, is it 4-2-2-2 without the ball, or 3-5-2 with the ball? Does Nagelsmann want to reproduce Leipzig's tactics? But this makes me unacceptable. Why use three midfielders? I prefer 4-2-3-1, and everyone is familiar with this system."

The outside world has criticized Rudiger and Werz a lot, what do you think?

"If you only look at the game against Slovakia, you almost have to replace the entire team. Rudiger is not a problem, he has always been very passionate. More importantly, Nagelsmann can no longer care about fame and qualifications. Players like Anton, Andrish, Schlottbeck should get the opportunity."

Collins, who made his debut, was paid attention to many people.

"It shouldn't be blamed. He was selected for his outstanding performance in Frankfurt and U21, but he was more used to playing three or five defenders than four defenders."

Is Wilz too stressed?

"This is normal. It takes time to adapt to playing football abroad. I experienced a similar situation when I went to Inter Milan. He has the strength and will overcome it."

How much impact is there in the lack of Mushara?

"He is irreplaceable, just like Messi. I hope he can come back as soon as possible."

Next to Northern Ireland, are you worried about a fall in the car again?

"No, this game has only one goal: revenge and self-salvation. There is no need for any tactical adjustments. Players must win back the hearts of fans by themselves."
