Julian Nagelsmann insists Germany are prepared no differently ahead of Friday’s clash with Spain. Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann has labelled Friday’s Euro 2024 quarter-final clash with Spain as a “big game”. But said the Eagles’ preparations are no different to those of their previous football games. Sky Germany reported on Thursday.
‘Hopefully our preparations are complete. We have made decisions about who will start and who will not start. Yesterday we had a lot of private chats and watched a lot of videos. We are well prepared and confident that we can perform well.’UFABET
‘It’s not a final, it’s a quarter-final. We want to be one of the teams in the semi-finals. Spain wants to win it too, so it will be a difficult game tomorrow. Both teams have good possession and quality, good counter-pressing. Both teams can put their opponents under pressure. It will be important tomorrow to deal with a lot of one-on-one situations.’
‘It’s one of the more important games, without a doubt. But our preparation is the same (as the previous game). Everything is still the same. It’s not about luck.’
Nagelsmann also spoke about 16-year-old Spain forward Lamine Yamal: ‘He’s consistent at the end of the game. His job is to maintain consistency. Of course, he has great quality, especially in one-on-one situations. And he’s only 16!’
‘You can’t always defend him because he’s so versatile. He’s an interesting player and fun to watch for the fans. Although my focus isn’t on Jamal, it’s on Jamal (Musiala).’
