In the early morning of June 20, Beijing time, Germany beat Hungary 2-0 in the second round of the group stage of the UEFA Europa League, locking the qualification in advance. After the match, head coach Nashua was interviewed by the media, sharing his outlook on the future of the team and his thoughts on the match.
Nash made it clear that Germany's goal is to win the group. He said, "We want to win the group, that's our number one goal. We are looking for a better rhythm of play to ensure that we stay in top form in the upcoming matches."
When asked if there will be a massive rotation for the next match against Switzerland, the nabob dismissed the possibility. He emphasized, "There will not be a rotation of seven players, I can clearly rule out that possibility." This shows that the Nash wants to maintain the stability and continuity of the team rather than making massive lineup changes.
Speaking about the match's opponent, Hungary, the Nats felt that Germany gave their opponents too many chances from set-pieces. He noted, "For what they are, we did give them too many chances from set-pieces. While we survived some key moments, we also created enough offensive threats." This shows that Nashua has reservations about his team's performance on the defensive end, while also recognizing their strength on the offensive end.
In addition, Nash shared his feelings about participating in a major international tournament as a national team coach. He said, "I never imagined what it would be like to participate in a major international tournament as a national team coach. It was really special and had a big impact on me." These words revealed how much Nashua cherished and felt about this coaching experience.
