Germany, Neuer: "Today was the most important match and we lost. We are under pressure"

Why did Germany lose against Japan? Manuel Neuer, captain and goalkeeper of the Flick team replies to Das Erste:

  "For the goal chances we missed, that's clear. We didn't defend well until the end. Japan put us under pressure in one-on-one situations. We weren't calm. We needed better positioning, as we did in the first half. In reality we still had control of the game, but then we got back into the game. If you don't show presence, then you pay the price. And that's what happened today. We have to improve many things, now we are under pressure. This it was the most important match and we lost. We'll need a different version against Spain, we'll have to give everything with the most difficult opponent and show the potential we have on the pitch."
