At midnight on July 6th, the quarter-finals of the European Championship kick off with Spain taking on hosts Germany. Ahead of the clash, Spanish player Carvajal addressed the media in a press conference discussing the team’s preparations.
About the match
“I have a good feeling about this game; I see my teammates relaxed, and we know we need to give a great performance to beat them, but I see a confident and energetic team. It’s a balanced match, where details will make all the difference.”
“We will feel the support of all the Spanish fans in the stadium and those watching from home. In matches like these, when the opponent plays better, you have to suffer. We need to take our chances and concede as little as possible; we’ll give everything to secure victory.”
About the German team
“Germany has world-class players. They have fast wingers, strong central defenders, and players who like to have possession. Our qualities are similar. It will depend on whether they sit back or press high up the pitch. That will determine how close we get to their goal and perhaps even the tempo of the game.”
“One way to counter their wing players’ impressive speed and technique is to stay tight on them. I even think we should follow their wingers closely so they can’t move freely when we’re right on them.”
