We Expecting Tomorrow.
We expect a very strong team. They are technically versed and tactically structured very well. They often play with a different formation. For us, this means that we have to react to changes.
So on the Changes, It’s Though.
It is hard, especially for the European teams because we are not used to playing under these conditions. The moisture, the heat. It’s difficult, but we are football professionals. We have to compete under all conditions and overall we are satisfied.
Yes, at the beginning of the tournament I said that the South American teams are technically very strong, that they play very robust football, that this is their DNA. And I think football is a contact sport. We cannot interpret football as if it were basketball, where we are also working much more in basketball than in the past. That’s why it is part of sport. I personally find it very pleasant. It is also about not being provoked too much. Should there be such situations. But of course I also expect my players that if necessary, you are worth it if necessary. Although I already believe that the referee will certainly have all the eyes open in order to correct it.
