“So speed up the game, have high ball tempo but being patient, have runs behind the defence – we’re just putting emphasis on those things all the time.
"And then in the final third, stay aggressive, keep scanning and composed, and of course, ruthless, to get the ball in the net.
“Things like that, and then the team has to collaborate really well, so stay connected and co-operate well so we can create many, many chances and score these goals.”

Hide AdManchester City striker Ellen White could equal or break the all-time England goalscoring record tonight.
Her winner against Austria on Saturday took her tally to 45 – one behind Kelly Smith’s Lionesses record of 46.
“Of course, that’s an amazing moment, as it was when she played her 100th cap,” said Wiegman, on the prospect of White making history.
“She has shown so much consistency, the way she lives football, that’s the only way you can do things like this. It would be really nice if she scores a record goal, but we just have to score goals – it doesn’t really matter who scores the goals, as long as we score a lot of them.
