Germany striker Tim Kleindienst was very pleased with his team’s performance despite a second-half slump that saw Italy draw 3-3, but the Germans still advanced.

Germany advanced to the UEFA Nations League Finals after drawing 3-3 with Italy in the second leg, winning 5-4 on aggregate and advancing to the quarter-finals, with Kleindienst scoring in both games.

The Borussia Mönchengladbach striker คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย said of the game in Dortmund: “The first half was excellent, but in the second half we didn’t put any pressure on them.”

“We won the ball back a lot of times and we deserved to score a lot of goals. Everyone is looking forward to the (Nations League) Finals (since the semi-finals in Germany). At the end of the day, the most important thing is to qualify.”

“It was unbelievably fun,” Kleindienst said of the first half, which saw Germany lead 3-0.

“Everything clicked.”

Kleindienst has now scored four goals in six appearances for Germany.

Germany, the host of the UEFA Nations League Finals, will play Portugal in the semifinals at the Allianz Arena in Munich on June 4. The winner will advance to the final at the same stadium on June 8, while the loser will play the third-place match in Stuttgart on the same day.
