Julian Nagelsmann: "The result in the match with Ukraine goes into the background"

Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann said what he expects from the friendly match with the national team of Ukraine.

"I'm sure you often read that the Ukraine national team is keen to use every opportunity to distract their country from the events that are happening in it. And that will be the most important thing in the upcoming match. They will do everything for that, and we will support them. Football is something that can help you think about other things, at least for 90 minutes.

We will try to do our part to make the game interesting and good. The result goes to the background here. We will do our best to make sure that these 90 minutes are not filled with misery but with beautiful moments," Nagelsmann said at the pre-match press conference.
