Tuchel anticipates being ‘huge favourites’
“We anticipate a match where we are huge favourites. We accept the role and we want to live up to that role, so we anticipate a match where we have the majority of the ball. We expect a lot of ball possession, we expect to have the ball and we want to put the ball in the opponent’s half.
“The focus will be on the attacking patterns, on our hunger for the reaction after ball losses for counter-pressing – these will be the main topics for tomorrow and this will then guide and demand the tactics. We want to be fully committed to a World Cup qualifier. It feels like we have to fulfil our own expectations,” Tuchel continued.

‘Serious and professional’ in line-up – Thomas Tuchel
Here’s what Thomas Tuchel had to say ahead of the game, which gave an indication of which way his team selection might go.
“First of all, I think it’s about being serious and being professional and being determined and showing it also in the line-up.
“It will be an offensive line-up and it will be an attacking line-up and it will give us the opportunity to perform and put the game where we want to have the game and get the result that we want to have and then we will see.
“My thoughts are not so much ‘who can we see?’ and ‘what do we try?’ It’s more about the gameplans and who trains well and who feels well and who has the connections and who showed up in a good rhythm after a long season.
“From there, we take in-game decisions that are necessary according to the flow of the game and then we take the decisions in the friendly match.”
