Die Mannschaft are first European team to qualify for Qatar 2022
-
Germany are on the right track ahead of next year’s World Cup in Qatar after becoming the first European nation to qualify yesterday morning (Singapore time).
But their players know there is still considerable work to be done to reach world-class levels.
The four-time world champions crushed North Macedonia 4-0 to secure top spot in Group J with two games left, as they look to make amends for their shock 2018 World Cup first-round exit and their round-of-16 elimination at this year’s Euro 2020.
“We should keep our sights low at the moment,” midfielder Leon Goretzka said. “There were a lot of things also in today’s game that we need to be better (at).
“We have the quality but we also have to grow together as a team... We are on the right track but still have work to do.”
Germany coach Hansi Flick agreed that his side still had “a long way to go”, but insisted they could compete with the best in the world.
