Nagelsmann: There won't be many changes in the team; Felkrug and Gross will start

At 2:45 am Beijing time on Sunday, the German team will face Hungary in the UEFA Nations League A match. Before the game, Nagelsmann attended the team's press conference and talked about his expectations for the game, the team's lineup and other issues. He said that the team will adopt a plan to replace Gundogan and Kroos who have retired from the national team, but everyone's characteristics and tasks will not be exactly the same as previous players.

"We can't expect the opponent to be the same as in the Euros. They will attack more fiercely tomorrow. In the Euros, they defended deep against us."

"How far we can push them back also depends a lot on ourselves. Our lineup will also be different from before because some players have left, but there will not be big changes."

"The first game after the Euros is crucial for us to keep the momentum. We deliberately didn't do anything new in training. The training time was very small. We want to consolidate the results we achieved in the Euros and hope to see the enthusiasm shown by the fans during the Euros again."

"Groos will play. He will not be Kroos, but Gross. I don't need anyone to replace Kroos. Phil Krug will replace Gundogan in a different position. He will not do everything like Gundogan. Everyone can play to his strengths."

"It's a good thing that we set such high goals. I can't understand some of the comments made by the experts. I think it's crazy when a coach says he wants to be a world champion and is criticized for it. If I say I don't want to be a world champion, I'm curious to see what the headlines will be."

"He's got great ball control, great vision, can play through balls into defences, he's not afraid to get on the ball, you have to want the ball to create chances."

"He had a very good coach (De Zerbi) at Brighton, De Zerbi has great ideas, it's fun to talk to Gross, he loves football, analyses his position very well and is a great guy."

"Fel Krug will play as a striker and Havertz will play in an attacking midfield role, but in some cases there will be two "Both of them made a very good impression. They were very brave and wanted to get the ball. I never felt that they were afraid or hiding. They are also interesting people with the necessary humility. They don't act like 'young performers'." In the last 6 matches against Hungary, Germany has achieved 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. The last time the two sides met was in the second round of the European Cup group stage this summer, when Germany won 2-0.
