Germany coach Hans Dieter Flick spoke about the upcoming match against the Costa Rican team at the World Cup.
The standings tell us that Costa Rica still has a chance to reach the playoffs. If they and Spain win, Costa Rica will advance.
I think a team with a defensive style will play against us: in the match against Japan they behaved in a similar way. We have to find the optimal solution for this game.
It would be very disrespectful to Costa Rica to say we can score 8 goals. Victory would give us joy. This is our goal. We have seen Costa Rica’s defensive actions against Japan. And we treat it with respect.
