He said yesterday from Germany's Euros camp: "I spoke about us as a team, not just about Ronald. You will see it if you review my statements in full. I also make mistakes and I admit them. If you are not prepared to admit mistakes, you cannot be successful."
Gundogan said at the time: "In these crucial moments you have to be sure if you are going for the ball. I don't know if he touches the ball or not... I prefer to concede a goal or even allow a one on one.
"I don't know if it got to the ball or not, but give the goalkeeper a chance to stop it, or even give them the goal."
