Sammer could choose to play conservatively when the score was 1:0. He could still choose to play conservatively when the score was 1:1. However, now that his team was trailing England by 2:1, he could no longer choose to play conservatively anymore. There was still no news about the match between Portugal and Wales after 70 minutes. If the situation stayed like this until full time, then Germany, who had only three points, would be behind Portugal and Wales, who had four points each, and they would definitely be eliminated…
Sammer stood up from his seat as he decided that they could no longer be conservative anymore.
