"We will try to win, it's normal for us. If we can win against Germany, it will be important for the team and for the country"
"But a draw? I don't know. It is better to wait. The Germans are a strong team, they are very quick and they play very well with their wingers because they cut in with their strikers".
"We know that Germany is a very good team and we have many problems, but we need to believe it's possible to play against all teams."
Ireland have been hit with an injury crisis ahead of the Germany and Faroe Islands games with Kevin Doyle, Sean St Ledger, Richard Dunne, James McClean and Glenn Whelan all missing.
Conor Clifford, David Meyler and Manchester United's Robbie Brady have been drafted into the squad as cover.
Tardelli also hinted that a change in Irish formation may be required to try and contain the German midfield threat.
"We need to change something against Germany because the Germans are a very strong team and play 4-3-3. Maybe it's possible to play 4-3-3."
