LEIPZIG, Germany (Reuters) - Germany's shock 1-0 home defeat by Hungary in the Nations League on Friday was a timely wake-up call for the four-time world champions ahead of the World Cup in Qatar starting in November, coach Hansi Flick said.

Adam Szalai scored with a sensational back heel flick as Germany suffered their first loss since Flick took over last year.

More importantly, for the coach, it was a reminder that his players still need to improve in the two months leading up to the tournament. "It is also a personal motivation for everyone to give it all on Monday and put in the work in the next six weeks to add these few percentage points that we need to add. The defeat opened our eyes.

The Germans barely got a shot on target in the first half but improved after the break without, however, carving out many scoring opportunities.
