Not enough support in Germany?: DFB star Havertz criticizes his own fans

Before the international match between Germany and Japan, the two DFB stars Kai Havertz (24) and Julian Brandt (27) answered questions from the media in Wolfsburg.

Havertz in particular used the press conference for a sweeping attack on his own fans. In particular, he criticized the lack of “support” in the qualifying round of the World Cup in Qatar, where discussions of rainbow ties and human rights greatly dampened anticipation of the tournament.

“We had no support. There were other reasons as well, we understand that. But technically there was no support either,” said the offensive player: “We were alone there.”

Havertz understands criticism

Home support is also a factor in a team’s success. “That’s important because it also gives strength,” said Havertz. “What other teams had to support, we missed a bit. They always say the fans are the twelfth man. We didn’t always feel that one hundred percent.” He understands the criticism in terms of results, but as a footballer you need the support of the fans in these bad times.

Accordingly, people in Germany are concerned about the emerging markets in a year from now. The sports crisis is not over yet. The last three matches resulted in two losses and one draw. Resentment and resentment towards the German national team have not been so great for a long time.

Julian Brandt said at the media conference: “You can only get the country on your side by delivering. You have to get into the EM well and then be successful at best. » Preferably against Japan on Saturday, before beating number two France on Tuesday. (Gentlemen)
