After the press conference with Ecuador, Jurgen Klinsmann, the coach of the German national team, expressed his satisfaction with the team's first place in Group A.
Actively supported by the fans, in Klinsmann's opinion, his team will always have an advantage over opponents, no matter who they play against: "When you play at home, you have the support of the fans, which gives players an extra boost. This is the heat of the World Cup."
"Our goal was to win this group, and we achieved it," said the coach after the match.
After scoring the third goal, the game slowed down a bit, but the coach was not worried.
"It is difficult to maintain a high pace of play because it was very hot, but in principle, we are satisfied and now we are preparing for the knockout matches," Klinsmann, a former player for the German national team, looked forward to the future.
The coach of the Ecuador national team, Luis Suarez, was disappointed with his players' loss in Berlin. The coach fears that the team may not have enough time to solve all the national team's problems and hopes that the Ecuadorians will quickly learn from their mistakes.
"Germany played a great game. I am disappointed that we did not play well. We expected more, and we did not play as well as in the first two matches."
"Everyone played poorly, so we need to make great progress if we do not want this to happen again. We need to improve if we want to advance further in this World Cup," analyzed Suarez the team's game.
"We can learn a lot from these matches, and we hope we will not repeat the same mistakes," added the coach.
Ecuador, like the German national team, secured a place in the quarterfinals even before these matches and now awaits the battles of Group B and their opponents in the next stage of the World Cup.
