Here’s What the coaches had to say about the match

Joachim Löw

We have never beaten them in a tournament but we have no Italy trauma.

I do not rate the past too much.

They are now a different team. That’s all cold coffee. A fresh espresso is better and I hope it tastes better on Saturday.

Conte

We now face the best side at the European Championship next Saturday. It’s going to be very, very hard in all aspects.

“For me Germany are on a higher level to everybody. So we’re going to have to regain our strength and prepare it well, with the same attention, desire and determination because we’re going to need something super-extraordinary for that game, not just extraordinary.”
