One fan tweeted on Jenas’ mishap: “According to Jermaine Jenas, Minamino’s ‘time in Germany’ went well. Takumi Minamino has never played in Germany.”

The 27-year-old attacker currently plays for Monaco having previously played for Liverpool and Southampton.

Minamino burst onto the scene while playing for RB Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga before coming to the Premier League.

Some believed online that Jenas may have mistaken the Austrian Bundesliga for the German Bundesliga and RB Salzburg for the other Red Bull owned club in Germany – RB Leipzig.

But it didn’t stop fans poking fun at Jenas, another said: “Still thinking about earlier and Jermaine Jenas being complimentary about Takumi Minamino and his career in Germany.

“A country Minamino has never played in. Stunning piece of analysis.”

More bantered: “Another cracker added to the long list of waffle from Jermaine Jenas.”

Despite his apparent “success” in Germany, it was not success in Qatar for Minamino as he missed Japan’s first penalty in the shootout.

The Samurai Blue’s missed another two spot-kicks in poor fashion and they crash out at the last-16 stage for the third time in the last four tournaments.
