JAKARTA - Germany's midfielder, Joshua Kimmich, could not hide his disappointment after his team lost 0-1 to Hungary at the UEFA Nations League. Kimmich said the defeat occurred because they played slowly and often made mistakes.

Germany and Hungary met in the fifth match of Group 3 UEFA Nations League at the Red Bull Arena, Leipzig, Saturday, September 24 in the morning WIB. Germany as the host lost after Adam Szalai successfully tore the Marc-Andre goal ter Stegen in the 17th minute.

The result was felt to be an irony because throughout the match the team nicknamed Der Panzer actually appeared to dominate throughout the match. However, they were able to concede by Hungary through a corner kick situation.

Kimmich said he was disappointed. The 27-year-old revealed what happened on the field.

We were too slow in our passing game and made too many mistakes. Even though being the group winner at the UEFA Nations League was our goal," Kimmich said. But it wasn't seen in the first half. We did nothing and lacked everything in the first half, in the first 45 minutes," he continued.

In order to cure the disappointment of this match, Kimmich said that his team would vent anger in the next match. This is clearly a threat to the England national team, which will be Germany's opponent, Tuesday, September 27, 2022.

We still have the last game the Nations League played against England before the World Cup. We have to do better and we will do even better," he concluded.
