Germany was jeered by its home crowd Saturday after slumping to a 4-1 loss to Japan to pile yet more pressure on coach Hansi Flick, nine months out from hosting the European Championship.
The German defence allowed Japan a string of chances on the counter and the result highlights the lack of progress since a 2-1 loss to Japan played a key role in Germany going out of last year's World Cup in the group stage. Flick's team has not won any of its last five games and conceded 13 goals in that time.
Flick said he believes he is still the right coach for Germany and he was supported by Gundo─ƒan, who said he still trusts him. Another challenge comes Tuesday with a friendly against World Cup runner-up France. Germany responded when Florian Wirtz found Leroy Sane in space to score, but conceded again almost immediately when Ayase Ueda finished off another move involving a cross from the right.
Takuma Asano surged in behind the defence to score the third goal in the 90th and Ao Tanaka added another in stoppage time when he was left unmarked for a header.
