Müller rips Kimmich: defensive chaos after Germany’s 2-1 win
Veteran forward calls out DFB captain’s handling of Ivory Coast attack and demands sharper leadership as World Cup pressure mounts.
Thomas Müller lit into DFB captain Joshua Kimmich after Germany’s hard-fought 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast in their second group match. ‘We need someone who reads the game better and reacts faster,’ Müller said during live commentary, pointing to lapses that nearly cost the Mannschaft a clean sheet. The match itself was a cagey affair at MetLife Stadium, with Germany breaking the deadlock in the 34th minute through Niclas Füllkrug’s deflected strike.
