On June 30th, Germany will face Denmark in the Round of 16 of the European Championship, fighting for a spot in the quarter-finals. Before the match, German defender Nico Schlotterbeck attended a press conference.
About match preparation
Schlotterbeck: The team has developed detailed plans for both offense and defense. We know how to beat Denmark, we’ve communicated during training and practiced set pieces.
About Rüdiger and Füllkrug
Schlotterbeck: We’ve played together a few times. He participated in individual training yesterday, and I hope he can recover before the next game. Füllkrug is a great goalscorer and works very hard in training.
About his position in the national team
Schlotterbeck: You have to be prepared for anything, you have to be excited about the possibility of playing, and be ready for it. Unless something happens, I have the opportunity to play as a center back.
About the match against Denmark
Schlotterbeck: We need to find the right spaces and control the ball better. We need to bring the performance we had in the second half against Switzerland, our goal is to score one more goal than the opponent.
About Danish players
Schlotterbeck: I know Wind, he is a clever striker who likes to have the ball. I haven’t faced Højlund much, but he is very fast and good at using his body. Eriksen is a problem when he has the ball, we need to find a way to silence him.
About daily life at the training camp
Schlotterbeck: There are a lot of activities every day, it’s very interesting. Our families are also here. When the weather is nice, we have a day off, and we can go swimming.
