The Euro 2024 quarter-finals will face each other on Friday afternoon (5/7, 19:00) in Stuttgart. Spain and Germanythe two by far the best teams of the tournament!
The coach of the “punchers”, Julian Nagelsmann, spoke about his plans for this particular game and said: “We will be well prepared and we are confident that we will have a good match on Friday. Spain always try to press high to force the opposition into mistakes, this is a virtue they have won and they are no longer just tiki-taka.
There are many ways to defend against a team that will have a lot of possession, but we also want to have the ball. That’s always more enjoyable and that’s what we’ll aim to do, knowing of course that we can’t do that for 90 minutes.
However, there will be parts of the match where we will want to attack and make life difficult for them”Nagelsman initially stated and added to a related question about him Lamine Yamal: “He’s a very big talent, he’s been consistent all year.
Few Barcelona players have been consistent throughout the season. We’ll see how he reacts when the going gets tough. Anyway, my attention and what concerns me is less Jamal and more… Jamal (s.s. Musiala)”.
As for whether he has already decided the players who will take penalties if the quarter-final is finally decided on the white bullet, the German coach answered: “We have a list in mind, but it is important that the specific players are on the pitch at the time. We have many players and I have no doubt that we will find the most suitable ones if we have to go to penalties…”.
