Lothar Matthews, one of the German legends. He has recently been called a "master of the sharp tongue". They were irresistibly sharp in their criticism. His next target has already been decided.

This is the German national team. With Julian Nagelsmann in charge, the German national team is trying new things. Matthaus didn't like it in his eyes. One thing in particular.

Germany played a friendly against Turkey on the 19th.

Germany lost 2-3. The game was notable for the shift of Kai Haverts. This is because Haverts, who plays as a striker or attacking midfielder, played as a left-back in this match.

It was an unconventional shift in position. Haverts opened the scoring five times in the first half. Everything started well. However, in the 24th minute of the second half, a handball foul in the penalty area led to Turkey being awarded a penalty.

The goal became the winning goal. Turkey won 3-2 with a penalty kick. Haverts left Chelsea this season to wear the Arsenal shirt. It has come under great criticism.

He has made 19 appearances for Arsenal this season, scoring just once. Arsenal have been criticised for poor recruitment. Haverts' transition to left-back is refreshing. Nagelsmann said after the game: "Haverts will not always play in this position. He is a very good player.

He won't always play the typical full-back, but he can be a good option in certain situations." He also hinted at using a left-back. Matthaus didn't like the scene. Matthaus told Sky Deutschland: "Haverts should not play at left-back.

He shouldn't do that for the German national team." "Haverts is a very good player, but he is not trained as a full-back, he is mainly trained as a centre-forward. I accept that the national coach wants to try something, but he will never do it again."

"I hope you don't try to do that," he stressed. He said: "Suddenly playing Germany's best attacker at full-back is not the answer. It's not about holding the players responsible for the problems of the existing full-backs."
