I can assure you that there will not be seven changes in the starting line-up for the next match against Switzerland, but we need more pace. We are in the through a maturation process, in October we would not have won this match 2-0. Hungary is a very uncomfortable team, but we did well to remain balanced for most of the ninety minutes: these matches must be won, we are happy with them. we succeeded. The second half was quite in control on our part: once we scored the second goal, we were good at closing them out. Coaching the national team is truly something special.”
About Musiala: “He did very well in the first two games, not only because of the goals he scored but also because it is always very difficult to tackle him when he finds himself in possession in the attacking phase. It is important that he doesn’t feel the pressure, he just has to think about exploiting his abilities to resolve every situation in his favor. He should always play as if he were on the pitch in Germany or England with friends.”
About Gundogan: “He worked a lot, he tried to guide and control the game, always staying in contact with us on the touchline. He is a very intelligent player, we have a lot of faith in him. He was the captain of Manchester City when they won the championship , proving to be one of the best on the team. We must all push him together, we know what he has inside.”
