DFB team: press conference with Hansi Flick and Joshua Kimmich in the live ticker – before the start
Flick about a possible penalty from FIFA: “If there had been a yellow card, that would have been okay. But it was left open. We said we would take the pressure off the team. It’s a shame that you can’t stand up for human rights. I think it’s a shame that you can no longer stand up for human rights.”
Flick about the staff: “I can say that Manuel Neuer will be in the starting XI. It’s sad that we have to do without Leroy. He can decide a game with his quality alone. We hope he can play on Sunday.”
Flick about the One Love armband and if he could wear it: “I’m glad that’s the first thing to come up because I expected the question. FIFA put a stop to it and threatened penalties. If you do an action together, you have to stand by the decision together. That’s why it works I don’t think I’m going to set an example there individually. The team is dissatisfied and shocked. It’s a sign of human rights and diversity. I and the team treat each other with a lot of respect, I expect that from everyone. But as far as appreciation and respect are concerned, there are several parties that don’t see it that way. We wanted to embody those values. We’re here to play football.”
Flick about the differences between 2018 and 2022: “Our goal is to do better. We had good training sessions and a good final practice session. We have good conditions here. We have a good starting position.”
