“We must fight back as a team, not allow them into the game. The Spaniards don’t like it if we fight back aggressively. We must try that and then play our own game,” said Frings.
The plan is to play Spain like they did Portugal. Expect a very physical German side that is relying on set pieces and lots of aerial relays to overwhelm the Spanish defence. That and an impeccable history in the finals having won three, the most in Euro history. For the finals, the fans will be overhwelmingly German with 40,000 expected to Spain’s 15,000.
