A success which perfectly launches the European campaign of Julian Nagelsmann’s men who have very high objectives in this European Nations Championship.
In a post-match press conference, the young 36-year-old coach was very satisfied with his team’s performance and result. According to him, he can rely on this scathing victory to build his squad for the future.
» Hoped for beginnings? Yes, I would have signed for it if I had been told before the meeting. It was interesting to see how we were going to enter this match, this competition. We were really dominant, especially during the first twenty minutes, we were aggressive, we scored two good goals. We deserved this penalty afterwards, and the red card was too. This is only the first step but we can build on this victory,” he declared to journalists.
Confirm against Hungary
Germany did the job on this first day of Euro 2024. But nothing is done. Toni Kroos’ partners will have to confirm next June 19 against Hungary. A victory would allow them to take a very big step towards the round of 16 of the competition.
Despite the good performance of his team and the confidence they have gained, Julian Nagelsmann is wary of the Hungarian team.
“The team has confidence but it will be different against Hungary. They will probably play like Scotland with a few differences, though. It’s a team that has played together for a long time, the coach is experienced. They are very compact, they have players who play in the Bundesliga and who play in good teams. We are prepared for this. Tomorrow (Saturday), we will leave everyone alone, on Sunday we will start preparing for this new meeting. »
