00:00First of all, congratulations to Spain for reaching the semi-final.
00:06I think we saw two different halves.
00:10In the first half we were very nervous, very shaky,
00:14we had way too many fouls, we had two yellow cards in the chain very quickly,
00:18we were a bit disunited.
00:21In general, it's good that we want to set an example,
00:25that we want to be present, even in situations that are dangerous.
00:29I think Spain didn't defend well in the first half.
00:35We came into the last third relatively simply,
00:38but there we were very heavy and played for the first balls immediately in front of the goal.
00:42It took a long time, there was way too much back and forth.
00:45I think both teams already had respect.
00:47We immediately defended all of Spain's final situations.
00:50We didn't even get out of the final situation in control, only with long balls.
00:54We defended well, but the game was too open.
00:59In the second half we reacted in a personal way,
01:04we reacted in the right way, then we were better in the game.
01:08From the 60th minute on, we were clearly the better team with many more chances.
01:12Except for the first five minutes,
01:16in the second half of the extension,
01:19it was almost only us who really wanted to win.
