Benedikt Howedes believes little should be read into Germany's defeat to Slovakia as the world champions prepare to conclude their warm-up for Euro 2016 at home to Hungary.
A much-changed Germany team lost 3-1 in torrential conditions last weekend but perhaps more worryingly it was a fourth loss in the last six matches for Joachim Low's side ahead of the European Championships in France, which begin next week.
On top of that, the result extended Germany's run of only one clean sheet in the last 10 games - which came against minnows Gibraltar last summer.
Germany host Hungary in Gelsenkirchen on Saturday but Howedes insists they go into the friendly fixture with nothing to prove.
Ahead of the game at his home stadium, the Schalke defender told his club's official website, schalke04.de: "We are in good shape and looking forward to a good 90-minute test against Hungary after the water polo match against Slovakia.
"You can't really judge the performance after the break against Slovakia as it wasn't possible to play decent football on that pitch. With that in mind, the match against Hungary in the VELTINS-Arena will be an important test ahead to the tournament.

"We will definitely use the game to try out one or two things and to improve in certain areas. I am convinced that we will give a good account of ourselves and move forwards.
"The Slovakia match was a dampener but we are not unsettled by the result. We are still full of confidence and will be assured going into the tournament - regardless of what the result is against Hungary."
In contrast to Germany's perceived poor form recently, Hungary head into Saturday's game with just one defeat in their last 11 matches and Bernd Storck - a German in charge of Hungary - has seen his team score in all but one of their last 19 away games.
Marco Reus will miss Euro 2016 through injury but his absence should not affect Germany too much, as the 27-year-old forward also missed his country's successful World Cup campaign two years ago.
In their final match before a first major tournament since the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, Hungary could be boosted by the return of veteran Zoltan Gera.
The 37-year-old former West Brom and Fulham midfielder withdrew from the recent training camp in Austria to undergo tests on flu-like symptoms.
