After Germany's successful Europa League group stage victory over Hungary, defender Mittelstaedt spoke to the media. He commented on his team's performance, his outlook for the future and his assessment of manager Nagelsmann.
Mittelstedt began by emphasizing that the team should not be complacent after the victory. He said, "We are not self-satisfied after the game against Scotland. We are aware that not everything is perfect. We knew that against Hungary we would not easily win 5-0. But I think we deserved the victory today. Now we have to keep this gradually rising enthusiasm and carry it into every next game."
Mittelstaedt is optimistic about the team's future. He said: "We showed that we are on the right path. For us, everything is possible in the future. We have played well in the first two games and if we can maintain this level in the next few weeks, we are capable of achieving a lot."
Speaking about head coach Nagelsmann, Mittelstedt was full of respect. He said, "Nagelsmann, despite his high position, is a very pragmatic person and has a great rapport with the team. He is full of vigor and positive energy, which is a great inspiration for our entire team."
