The German team suffered consecutive crises after being eliminated in the first round of the Qatar World Cup, and the results of friendly matches where many players were tested in March and June were not good, achieving only one victory, which was against Peru 1-0, drawing with Ukraine 3-3, and losing to Belgium 2-3, Poland 0-1, and Colombia 0-2.
