In the fourth round of the UEFA Nations League A, Germany will face Greece away. Ahead of the match, Germany midfielder Pavlovic attended a press conference to answer media questions.

Press Officer: Pavlo, we just had a look at the stadium. Although it seats fewer than 30,000, it's certainly very charming. As you just said, the atmosphere tomorrow will definitely be extremely heated. How much are you looking forward to this match?

S. Pavlovic: Anyone who knows the Greeks knows that the atmosphere here is always fantastic. I think the same will be true for tomorrow's match. Even though the number of spectators might not be particularly large, around 30,000, I can already fully imagine the fervent atmosphere. We are very much looking forward to it, everyone is eager and can't wait to play this match.

Reporter: Pavlo, first of all, how bad were those shoes you just made Tom (Bischof) smell today? Also, back to the game, your midfield partnership is very cohesive. How do you, Tom, and Florian Wirtz complement each other so well? What are each of your strengths?

S. Pavlovic: Actually, my shoes usually don't smell bad, but I put them in the shoe dryer earlier, and they were still a bit damp when I took them out, which caused an unusual odor. So I handed them to Tom to smell. As everyone saw, the smell wasn't very pleasant.

Regarding the second question, my relationship with Tom and Flo: it's incredibly fun to play alongside them. Everyone can see that all three of us are comfortable on the ball. On the defensive end, we complement each other very well in collective defending. On the offensive end, Flo has complete tactical freedom up front, and we fully supply him with the ball, then play continuous passes. It's very enjoyable to play that way.

Reporter: Although it might break the mood a bit, I still want to ask a serious question, Pavlo. As just mentioned, you've received a lot of praise, and you are also a very demanding player. In what areas do you think you still have room for improvement? Setting aside specific teammates, purely from your personal development, what role do you hope to play in the national team?

S. Pavlovic: Ultimately, the role I play is decided by the head coach. Whenever I'm on the field, I just want to give my all to the team. I want to constantly touch the ball, control the overall situation, and dictate the pace of the game; and on the defensive end, press intensely and win challenges. Whether in attack or defense, I am eager to help the team, that's what I want to bring to the team.
