Niklas Fullkrug, 29, who defends Werder Bremen’s colors at club level, admitted he was very disappointed by the crowd’s reaction to the German national side’s failure to perform in Qatar.
“I’m not afraid to say I’m afraid of how the failure of the national team in Germany was perceived: first the defeat against Japan and then the relegation in the group stage. This is an extreme shame.
The team is sometimes wished for failure, not success. I don’t know why this is happening. All I can say is that every player on the pitch is incredibly proud to wear the shirt” Fullkrug said.
As you know, the German team at the 2022 World Cup finished third in the quartet and was excluded from the World Cup playoffs for the second time in a row.
