Hansi Flick (Germany coach, who drew 1-1 with Spain on Sunday): “The team fought hard, but we only took one step. We live well together, even if we read other things. It’s huge what the team has done. I am proud. They are warriors on the pitch, they play with their hearts. If we keep this momentum going, and build up more confidence, then a lot will be possible. Germany showed a really good mentality and, in the staff, we are all happy to have managed to turn the game around.
We knew what was at stake today. It was a game of equals. Niclas Füllkrug’s goal is the kind of thing we need. What is important for me is the mentality that we have shown. This result is more than deserved. We deserved our chances, because we put the opponent under pressure. It’s never easy to defend against the way Spain play. I am satisfied with the result and I think the result is fair. »
