After the convincing 2-0 victory over France, the German national football team wants to further ignite the newly created euphoria before the home European Championship with a success in the test match against the Netherlands on Tuesday (8.45 p.m./in the LIVE ticker >>>). With the victory on Saturday, the joy is back among the Germans.
“We really had fun as a team,” said Jamal Musiala, describing the success over France. Now the next positive result should follow against the Orange team. “That was exactly the game we were waiting for. Now we have to do it again on Tuesday,” said sports director Rudi Völler.
The newly assembled team around returnee Toni Kroos was already working well, which is why national coach Julian Nagelsmann sees no reason for much rotation: “Not many changes are planned if everyone is fresh.”
Above all, the team’s appearance should be in the foreground. “It will be important to confirm the game against France, regardless of the result, it’s about the manner,” said Nagelsmann. The last meeting between Germany and the Netherlands was in March 2022, when the game ended 1-1.
ÖFB scout will follow EM opponents live
The “Elftal” also comes to Frankfurt with a sense of success. Austria’s group opponents at the European Championship defeated Scotland, Germany’s opponent in the opening game of the European Championship, 4-0 on Friday. Nevertheless, bond coach Ronald Koeman was not satisfied with his team’s performance.
If there is no improvement in performance, he sees black against the DFB team. “The start was bad, restless, sloppy. It’s actually unbelievable that the Scots didn’t score. The Germans will do it,” he said.
