Germany faces arch-rivals Hungary at home European Championship
After the convincing 5-1 victory in the opening match of the European Championship against Scotland, Germany could take their tally to six points with another win against Hungary. That is definitely enough to advance. However, national coach Julian Nagelsmann’s team definitely wants to win the group in order to avoid Spain or Italy in the round of 16.
Against Hungary awaits Germany But it’s not an easy task. The international match record is almost even, with 13 wins and 12 draws and defeats. And the DFB team, which is appearing in the pink jerseys for the first time at this European Championship, has not won against the Magyars in three games. The Hungarians are therefore a bogey team.
Germany vs Hungary today in the live ticker: Excitement about DFB trio shortly before the match
Before the match against Hungary, several transfer rumors about German national players are causing a stir around the DFB team. Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah, for example, is a candidate for FC Bayern and the Stuttgart trio Waldemar Anton, Deniz Undav and Chris Führich are also being linked with a move. Nagelsmann does not want to see any unrest as a result.
Every sought-after professional in his squad is faced with a “good decision,” said Nagelsmann, who revealed a secret about a running joke in the coaching team before the DFB duel against Hungary. They are faced with the choice of whether to “stay at good clubs” or “move to those who have big plans.” “I don’t have the feeling that it distracts us or causes too much unrest.” He even promised the VfB trio a reward in the form of a substitution against Hungary in their home stadium, “if the conditions are right.”
Nagelsmann reward for DFB trio from Stuttgart?
Nagelsmann also explained, however, that these issues were on his mind. For example, he watches the “Transfer Update” program on Sky and “has already thought about what it was like at other tournaments.” He also knows from his time as a club coach that these questions could bring unrest into the club.
“One or two percent of the head” of an affected player is occupied with planning for the future even during the EURO, added Nagelsmann, “but that’s not a bad thing. I’ve also said before that it’s part of my job to sort out the future.” Every professional also has “people in the background who sort it out and who have already thought about it before the Euro.”
