Goretzka on Germany's struggles: "It's a serious situation"
In an interview following Germany's defeat to Colombia, Leon Goretzka gave an honest assessment of the problems Hansi Flick's side are currently facing.
Leon Goretzka has admitted that Germany are in a "serious situation" after losing three of their last four games.
Speaking after yesterday's 2-0 defeat to Colombia, the Bayern midfielder commented on the slump Hansi Flick's side are currently in.
"It’s a serious situation. There was a lot we set out to do and our training sessions are at a very high level, so it’s hard to explain why we can’t implement it on the pitch. We’re coming up short in every department and, all in all, it’s just not good enough," Goretzka is quoted as saying by the German Football Association.
"We wanted to throw everything at it in the final game before the summer break, but things just aren’t coming naturally to us. We’re not getting the rub of the green now, so we’ll have to fight our way out of this rut. We will keep going – there is always the hope that the whole nation shares; we have a good squad with good individual players."
