Low: Unfortunately our substitutions didn’t make difference

Germany boss Low speaks to media after losing to the Netherlands.

‘Our defensive players do not lack quality. That’s what they prove every week. Players like Tah and Süle are young and have to gain experience.’

‘We played well below our abilities. Although we were 1-0 in the lead, you did not have the feeling that we have the game under control’

‘We have to make tactical changes against Northern Ireland. They will defend in numbers and play a lot of long balls.’

On his subs: “For me during that period of the match, we needed players like Gündogan and Havertz who are good on the ball and can control the game. Unfortunately, our game has not improved significantly.”
