Recurring problems plague Germany team 1 year before the country hosts Euro 2024

Associated Press  

BERLIN — All the old problems were there to see. Germany’s uninspired showing in a 3-3 draw with Ukraine was just the latest example of the team’s struggles, leaving it in a state of alarm one year before the country hosts the European Championship. It prevented Germany’s second straight defeat after the 3-2 loss at home against Belgium in March, but it did little to address recurrent problems and doubts about coach Hansi Flick’s ability to address them. “That’s what we need cut out — the mistakes at the back and at the front,” Kimmich said after preventing what would have been Ukraine’s first ever win over Germany. “It’s very annoying because the goals come from mistakes,” Germany goalkeeper Kevin Trapp said after his first appearance in 15 months.
