Germany secured a 2-1 victory over Italy in their Nations League quarter-final, with coach Julian Nagelsmann emphasizing the importance of focusing on the present rather than past defeats. He recalled Germany's heartbreaking 2006 World Cup loss but insisted they aim to forge their own narrative. Italy's coach Spalletti noted the need for another strong performance to overcome their disadvantage and ensure a different outcome in any rematch, reflecting on gameplay adjustments needed for success.
"I remember 2006 and I'm still not happy that Germany didn't win, but for me it's more important to talk about the present and not the past. We want to write our own history."
"I'm going to try and do the same things from the start, I'm convinced that, if we manage to have the same behaviour as Thursday, the result will be different."
