Hansi Flick: We have to look ahead now

Hansi Flick on Japan's goal: "Niklas simply has to pay attention. He played him onside because he dropped two or three steps too far. These are individual mistakes that we had to pay for today."

Did the subs disrupt the rhythm of the team? Flick: "We just wanted to bring in fresh energy. Thomas (Müller) hasn't played for a long time, so that was the right thing to do. These are individual mistakes that we shouldn't make, but we did make them. That's why we lost."

Finally, Flick highlighted: "We have to look ahead now, and that's what we will do. There are still six points to play for. We want to get them - and that's what we'll be working on"
