Nagelsmann: Ronaldo is still very dangerous, Vitinia is one of the best players in the Champions League

9:22pm, 4 June 2025【Football】

June 4th, at 3:00 am on June 5th, Germany will play against Portugal in the semi-finals of the UEFA League A League. Before the game, German coach Nagelsmann attended the press conference and talked about some of the current situation of the team.

About tomorrow's match

- This is the mini-type European Cup, and I look forward to playing with the support of the fans, it is a great stadium (Allian Field). Hopefully we can play two games there and that will be perfect. We are all very happy to play this tournament in Germany.

About Tomorrow's roster

- I've identified 9 of 11 positions and I haven't told the players yet, but I think most of them already know if they will start.

About Ronaldo - He has an incredible career and can last for such a long time at this level, which is amazing. He scored a lot of goals, which had an important impact on the team he played for. I hope he won't have much impact tomorrow's game, and despite his current age, he's still very dangerous, a goal threat, and he has a strong aerial advantage in the penalty area, we have to be on guard against that.

About Germany's positive results against Portugal

- As a national team head coach, I have not beaten Portugal yet. Ultimately, we have to score more goals tomorrow, and the statistics don't matter.

The starter in Portugal tomorrow may have three Paris Saint-Germain players

- this may be an advantage or a disadvantage for them, as they have less rest time than others. All three players are excellent and they are definitely worthy of the Champions League championship. They have made obvious progress this season and have played great football. It's hard for you to control Vitinia and Joao Neves in the midfield. I feel that Vitinia seems to have run 14 kilometers in the Champions League final. He is one of the best players in the Champions League and has a great influence in Paris Saint-Germain and the national team.

Will Waltermad start tomorrow?

-I don't know yet, Waltermad and Phil Kruger are both in good training. Phil Kruger has been here for a longer time and knows more about everything, but Walter Mad has also made a good impression and after such a season he is full of confidence. They are different types of players and I haven't decided who to play tomorrow.
