"We've had several discussions with individual players and with the team. The team have also spoken among themselves and clarified some things. We won't see a completely changed team. There will certainly be some changes in terms of personnel, but not all ten players will be rotated. We have to deliver a better performance than we did on Thursday,"
"We need players who fit the situation. We shouldn't think of qualification, it's just about this game. We've spoken to the leaders, those who are leaders by virtue of their position and those who can be leaders because of their nature. I've strengthened their leadership aspirations."
"Flo is an extremely important player for us. He tried a lot on Thursday and will try again tomorrow, which means he will play. I didn't speak to him about that scene, but if I did I would've told him that he should fall to the ground because it was a clear foul. It wasn't a regular goal. You should be smarter in the situation and fall, because it was a clear foul. It was unfortunate that we conceded a goal,"
Julian Nagelsmann cooled his initial anger following a 2-0 loss to Slovakia and insists changes are needed without a wholesale lineup overhaul. Several individual and team discussions occurred and players spoke among themselves to clarify issues. Select personnel changes will be made rather than rotating the entire outfield, with an emphasis on delivering a better performance. The focus is on players who fit the immediate match situation rather than qualification concerns. Serge Gnabry is likely available despite an arm problem. Florian Wirtz was distracted, shirked defensive duties, and contributed to a conceded goal from a clear foul.
