Iceland against Germany in World Cup qualification: Hansi Flick meets RTL expert Lothar Matthäus again
Such emotional outbursts were not to be expected in the game between Germany in Iceland.
After the bitter round of 16 at the EM in the summer, there is now something like optimism again for the DFB team * in the World Cup qualification.
The reason: Hansi Flick.
The former coach of FC Bayern is the new national coach and successor to Jogi Löw.
Flick is more of the quieter category.
You could tell after the 4-0 win in Iceland, even if there was a small incident after the game.
Lothar Matthäus * as an RTL expert is always good for a good saying.

RTL

“We had a few training units, that was our goal.
We have taken a step forward.
We're not at 100 percent yet, but I can't wait for that.
The guys implement what we imagine.
... what he didn't like:
“The final pass.
The conviction that you want to make the goal.

We have to work on that. "

If they keep going this way, they will develop well. "

took some
strength.
He also scored in every game.
In this respect he is on the right track. "

Even in the sum of the three games, the balance of nine points and 12-0 goals is already good. "

“It is positive that we are playing out the opportunities.
We had fewer chances against Liechtenstein, we made better use of the chances against Armenia. "

Ilkay (Gündogan,
editor's note
) should
fill
the position of Marco (Reus,
editor's note
).
We played well, we want to get used to it.
Everyone is ready for this game.
Kai Havertz had a cold in his room for two days, that was the problem.
He has absolutely ingenious skills, he is good for us.
But unfortunately he was now a little battered. "
... the opponent:
“Iceland is a team that puts us in front, we have to confidently play out behind.
We want to put them under pressure immediately if they lose the ball. "
... the youngsters Wirtz, Musiala and Co. as well as possible substitutions:
“We have a small plan.

Anything can happen there.
When you play in Hamburg, there is always a stiff pinch blowing. "
