Wirtz: We Wanted to Play Better Than the Last Game Today, and I Think We Did

Klaus Markthaus

In a European World Cup Qualifier, Germany defeated Northern Ireland 3-1 at home. After the match, German midfielder Florian Wirtz—who scored a free-kick in the second half—gave an interview to camel.live.

First, how do you evaluate today’s performance compared to the last game?

“We all know the last game was a disaster. Today, we wanted to play better and show more energy. In my opinion, we did that today. We started well and put in a good overall performance—this makes us satisfied, and we can build on this to keep improving.”

What did Joshua Kimmich say to you before you took that free-kick?

“To be honest, I don’t even know—there were a lot of people talking. It was a good position for a free-kick, and I just wanted to give it a try. I’m really happy it worked out.”
