Germany midfielder Sami Khedira calls his World Cup performances “inexplicable” especially as “I had probably the best season of my life” at Juventus.
The World Cup holders have been knocked out at the Group Stage, losing 2-0 to South Korea on Wednesday to finish bottom.
Khedira played in both matches they lost, while he was dropped for their solitary win over Sweden.
“None of us players reached the tournament in top condition, but I don’t want to criticise my teammates,” Khedira told Bild.

“None of us players reached the tournament in top condition, but I don’t want to criticise my teammates,” Khedira told Bild.
“My performances were inexplicable. In Turin I had probably the best season of my life, then I came to Russia and played so badly against Mexico and Korea.
“It’s never happened to me before and I have to figure out why it did. It’s right to criticise me and my teammates.
“I tried to sleep but I couldn’t, I kept waking up over and over again. I feel a lot of pain and it still hasn’t sunk in, even now.
“It’s unbearable for me that the tournament will last another two weeks while we’ll stay at home. I’m sorry for the fans who supported us, I just want to say sorry.”
