Germany head coach Joachim Low is not worried about his side s form after the world champions slumped to a 1-0 defeat against Brazil in Berlin to end a 22-game unbeaten streak.
In their first encounter since Germany humiliated the Selecao 7-1 in the semi-finals of the 2014 World Cup, a Gabriel Jesus header in the 37th minute proved the difference for the visitors as Die Mannschaft lost for the first time since going out of Euro 2016 in a 2-0 defeat to France.
Low, who guided his side to football s biggest prize four years ago, said he has no concerns about his team, as they prepare to head to Russia to defend their crown.
Every team, [it] doesn t matter how well-practiced it is, can have a bad day, he said.
I know [how] we can play and what mentality we have in the team. I actually don t worry a lot.
So I m not worried just because we lost one time 1-0 against Brazil.
Low added that he knew the opposition, led by Tite, would be out to avenge their infamous drubbing on home soil.
It s absolutely okay if the Brazilian soul can now find peace, he added.
You could expect that Brazil will go into the game with a great motivation and a massive effort and high concentration. You could expect that after that 7-1.
They may hope to eradicate the defeat with a win today.
