Germany Coach Joachim Löw saw an “intense tactical battle” with Italy in the goalless friendly draw at San Siro.
Andrea Belotti hit the upright, while Kevin Volland saw a goal disallowed for a tight offside call.
“It was an intense tactical battle. We can take a lot of insight from today’s game,” said Löw in a Press conference.
“We were good going forward in the first half in particular, although we dropped off a little after the break. Italy stepped up the pressure and we played less well.
“The young players gain crucial experience by playing in front of a crowd like that. The performance and the way these players reacted were more important than the result.
“We can be happy with our trip to Italy, much like our run of six consecutive clean sheets. Our overall record in 2016 is a good one.
“We want to dominate our World Cup qualifying campaign and avoid dropping off, something we failed to do in the build-up to Euro 2016.”
Thomas Müller was jeered every time he touched the ball after comments this week suggesting San Marino had no place in professional football.
“His words were misunderstood, he didn’t want to show a lack of respect towards San Marino. If anything, he represents all the values of this sport.”
