According to Sky Sports Germany, Bayern Munich defender Taher spoke about the World Cup defeat, saying he would process and analyze it before turning his attention back to the new season.
Tah said that it's "easy to get lost in social media and all sorts of voices" right now. After the World Cup ended, he didn't even go on social media or read the comments; he learned from others that he had received racist and hate messages, "Unfortunately, I had actually guessed it long ago."
"We received a lot of positive feedback."
The Bayern Munich star missed a penalty in the round of 16 shootout against Paraguay. However, Tah said he also received "a lot of positive feedback." He said he would focus on these voices rather than let cyberattacks affect him; he would talk to his wife or close friends, which would help him.
The 30-year-old player said they all learned how important it is to support each other. "If there are a lot of positive voices, the negative voices will naturally become smaller. This doesn't just apply when I miss a penalty. It's the same when a boy is bullied at school or someone is verbally abused on the street. Everyone needs mental resilience, not just professional players."
