Even though his team looks like a juggernaut, former Bayern Munich boss and current Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann has great respect for Hungary.

“They change their formation a lot during the game. In Düsseldorf (first leg), Hungary exerted more pressure, were not as disciplined at the back and played with more risk. It was different with the euro. You cannot predict 100% what to expect. I rather assume that they will be more compact tomorrow,” says Nagelsmann (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “It won’t fall apart if we don’t win. I think every player has understood that we will not see each other countless times and that we will not have many matches. We don’t have that time, we have to use it here. We would like to put on a good performance for the 1,000 fans who have traveled with us from Germany. What matters is that we continue on the path we have chosen. We get motivation from the fact that we want to develop ourselves. There aren’t many games left until the World Cup. We don’t have much time to leave anything behind.”

Nagelsmann also indicated that he will likely make many changes to his starting XI.

“From today, there will be many changes tomorrow. We also take the clubs into account. We may make nine, ten, or maybe just four changes. We will decide after the last training depending on how everyone feels,” said Nagelsmann.

Finally, the coach gave some insight into the situation of the team’s goalkeeper.

“The performances at the clubs are more important. I have a limited number of training courses here that we can evaluate within the technical staff. Olli (Baumann) did very well. He was also good with his feet. I hope for both of them (Baumann and Alexander Nübel) that the consistency in the competition continues. Anyway, I’m not worried. We will have a good #1 and #2 by the time Marc (Marc-André ter Stegen) comes back,” said Nagelsmann.
