A game that means out or in for Germany. 90 minutes that are securing first place in Group E, or suffering until the last day for Spain.
The challenge had to be experienced differently at least by the Panzers, but it was the failure with Japan that made them a wounded beast.
However, Luis Enrique has no intention of changing the game of the Iberians: "Changes? It depends on the game. I do what I think is best for the team. It depends on the form of the players. They are all good. I know the coach of Germany very well, he is a successful technician. Such a Germany could be much more dangerous. In the end, we have to play the match that interests us and if we succeed, we can get a good result".
The coach of Spain, Luis Enrique, on the eve of the challenge against Germany, is clear that two similar national teams will face each other. "In the beginning, it was very important to reduce the emotional tension. In this case it is different, we lead with Japan. From there you have to see the morale of each player. The motivation of playing against an opponent of this level are very positive incentives", he added.
"Germany always plays in attack, looking to pressurize the opponent's field, looking to have the ball. It's the team that resembles us the most, and that's why it's a challenge for us."
