Hansi Flick: Germany lacked conviction and played without confidence
Hansi Flick, Germany coach, speaking about his team's perfomance in a game against Hungary:
- I predicted at our press conference on Friday that this could be our toughest match out of the four. We played against an extremely organised and defensively strong side. We didn’t succeed in accomplishing our plan; our frequent mistakes made life easy for our opponents.
We had seven shots on goal and that's not enough. Compared to the England match we had an extra day to prepare, and we expected more. Tonight, in terms of the result and our play, is a bit of a regression. We’re now focusing on taking three points against Italy in Mönchengladbach.
We lacked conviction, we played without confidence. Too often, we didn’t decide to shoot when we had a clear chance to do so. Our play lacked intensity but, after such a long season, unfortunately it can happen.
