The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international says he was not amused by his team’s poor defensive displays after taking a seemingly comprehensive lead in their World Cup qualifier against Sweden on Tuesday.
Bayern Munich attacking midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toni-Kroos-c35425 showed his discontent as he still does not believe how his side managed to draw the game after taking a 4-0 lead in Dublin. The young prodigy along with his team members was shocked
by the end result and could not comprehend how they let http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015 back into the game.
The talented player said he is at a loss of words and cannot explain what happened in their crucial game against their rivals. He stated that Die Mannschaft relaxed after taking a huge lead and were not expecting a fight back from
the away side, and that was the reason they allowed them to equalise with only half an hour left on the clock.
"This is hard to explain to be honest. Anything can happen, when everything seems to be over,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The midfielder suggested that Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s team were fighting for every challenge and Die Nationalelf were not running enough to close down their attackers. Kroos conceded that they started brightly but could not put the
game beyond Sweden’s reach and were then made to pay for it.
"Sweden fought for every metre and we were not able to get back on track. Everything [seemed to be] working for us,” he added.
The youngster further added that Die Mannschaft played really well and scored good goals. As a result of this, the team relaxed and made a grave error. He said that they should have defended their lead and this sort of thing is
very costly for a big side like Germany.
"We played beautiful football and scored brilliant goals. Then you start to think that everything will take care of itself. That is the mistake,” he mused.
"We should have followed through until the end. This should not happen to a team like ours," he finally stated.
Kroos has been in good form lately and scored two goals against Ireland after coming off the bench.
