On November 18, in the final round of Group C in the UEFA Nations League A, Hungary will face Germany. Before the match, Germany’s head coach Julian Nagelsmann attended a press conference.
Regarding personnel rotation
There will be significant personnel changes tomorrow. We will also consider the concerns of the clubs, and perhaps we will make 9-10 changes, or maybe only 4. The team will make decisions based on everyone’s condition after the last training session.
Regarding the team’s motivation
The team’s motivation is that we still want to improve. Before the start of the World Cup, we have very few matches left, and there isn’t much time to leave any impression.
Regarding goalkeeper arrangements
The players’ performances in their clubs are more important. I can only organize a limited number of training sessions here, during which my coaching staff and I can assess their conditions. Bürki has performed well in the past, and his foot is fine now. I hope Bürki and Nübel can maintain their stability in the league. In any case, I am not worried about the options for this position. Before Ter Stegen returns, we have excellent No. 1 and No. 2 goalkeepers.
Regarding the match
They often change formations during matches. In the first leg in Düsseldorf, Hungary increased their high-pressure intensity and did not remain deep in their own half, playing a more adventurous style. Unlike during the European Championship, you cannot predict their response with 100% certainty. I think they might keep a tighter formation in tomorrow’s match. Even if we don’t win, things won’t get worse. I believe everyone knows that our time together is limited, and there are not many matches left. We must make the most of these opportunities and deliver a great performance for the 1,000 fans who have traveled from Germany.
Regarding Hungary’s assistant coach Sallai
I had a brief conversation with him, and he said he is still on the road to recovery. I don’t want to go into too much detail, but the most important thing is that he is working hard to come back.
