Nagelsmann: “We have to be flexible”
“Flexibility is not as important in the Bundesliga as it is in the knockout stages. There, we have to adapt to the score, know how to be flexible, go from 3 to 4 defenders, we play a lot with 4 defenders but we must be able to be flexible. One must know how to manage space. PSG have a very special defensive line. We will have to be in the best positions. We are prepared to play 90 minutes with three defenders as we are prepared to play it with four defenders. You can also switch from one system to another during the game. »
