The national of Germany is shaking! Rüdiger shouted to the locker room, Völler accuses the staff and carelessness

Germany is in shock after the missed start of the 2026 World Championship campaign. 0-2 in Bratislava with Slovakia, a painful football, chills for supporters and for the elders of the national team.

The situation is gray and tends to degenerate if Die Mannschaft does not recover on Sunday, against Northern Ireland, from 9:45 pm. The opponent of the weekend won a light victory last night, 3-1 in Luxembourg.

Antonio Rüdiger, the weakest on the field in Slovakia, made iureș in the locker room after the match

“After the total embarrassment, the noise was loud!”, The journalists from Bild titled, presenting an eloquent episode in the locker room, at the “Tehelné Pole” stadium in Bratislava. The frustration extended to the cabins, after failure. The coach Julian Nagelsmann, then the defender Antonio Rüdiger, the star of Real Madrid spoke. And the leader of the defense “shockingly vulnerable and full of amateur for 90 minutes”, as the German journalists called it.

Even though he had a sad performance, making mistakes in both goals, but especially by the Slovak striker David Strerec (24 years old, Middlesbrough in the second English division), Rüdiger has unleashed in front of his colleagues.

“The signal wants to be strong. Despite his gifts, Rudiger wants to be a leader as a personality and speech. But he also knows that he has to offer a top performance in the second qualifying match,” the Germans said.

The coach, of course, addressed the team. Toni Rüdiger also spoke with the team. I don't think we need to talk too much. We all know that it was simply not a good performance. But we have shown in the past that we are able to present another face

Rudi Völler caught the attention of national stars: “If we don't give everything, as in club teams, there will be a bitter awakening”

Neither the sports director of the team, Rudi Völler, 65, did not hide behind the words. Was dismayed by the team's weak performance.

In an interview with ARD after the match, the former world champion was virulent: “It was not just disappointing. It was a life-free performance.” And criticized the star players from the national team: “If we can't always give 100% in duels, as in club teams, so you want to win each duel, then there will be a bitter awakening.”

Everyone must understand that we must approach a match like this as a semifinal of the Champions League. It is not enough to play with the handbrake drawn. We see that regularly these stories David versus Goliath
