Löw: “Spain continues to be a top-notch team”

The German coach Joachim Löw appeared at the press conference prior to the Nations League clash against Spain and, as he used to do in previous appointments against the Spanish team, he surrendered to the Red. Löw, who will play the pass to the final four on Tuesday at the Cartuja Stadium, he spoke about the following topics:

Final against Spain: “It is positive that we are leaders and that it depends on us to continue at the top. The most important thing is that we continue to advance in our game and learn from our mistakes. We will face each other with a great rival. Spain, from my point of view, continues to be a first-rate team. It's a challenge because Spain has a lot of security with the ball at its feet and is capable of creating problems for all the teams in the world. We have to continue where we left off against Ukraine. “

Defending: “Rüdiger is suspended. We have to wait for the final session because Süle was in quarantine until recently and is coming off a crusader break. We will see. Henrichs is also an option after having been able to train and be able to play on both sides. No I think he is in the eleven, but he can enter “.

Approach:“It is essential that we can react to all kinds of situations. We have to be as flexible as possible. What matters is what we want against a rival like Spain. We have to be able to take risks in our way of playing, but we have to know when to do it. Against Spain it is complicated, as they have the tools to break a team through possession. We must find the balance between offensive pressure and team organization. If we are able to do it, we can change the tactic during the game and be more unpredictable. “

Future as coach: “I think from championship to championship. After each tournament, you stop to think, draw conclusions and make decisions.”

Goals for the Eurocup: “We always start the championships with the highest goals, but it is very premature to talk about that. If we do not have many casualties and we arrive at high speed, we are dangerous. We are always capable of going far.”

Two positive Ukrainians who played against Germany: “I'm surprised. The tests before the game were negative and our doctor assured us that there was no risk. I take it for granted that it will have no consequences for us. We took tests on Sunday and Monday. We tried to comply with the rules and hope to remain healthy. I take it for granted that the authorities were aware of the consequences of allowing the game to play. “

Back: “We have some casualties that prevent us from picking up rhythm at a collective level. If Süle can't play, we will have to improvise. There are Tah, Stark or Uduokhai, players who know how to play defense. If someone has to play in another position than hers, as he will have to adapt. It may also be that Max cannot end the crash considering the load of matches that he has been dragging. “

Luis Enrique: “We know his idea. He spent many years at Barcelona, ​​both as a player and as a coach. The styles of the Spanish team and Barcelona are similar.”

Neuer: “His performance speaks for itself. He never disappointed us, on the contrary. He did not stop convincing us with his interventions and has also evolved in his role as captain. He treats all players the same, conversations with him are very fruitful and about him. The pitch could not be better. He is the best goalkeeper in the world, not because of his abilities under the sticks, but also as the first outfield player. “
