Traditionally, the host opens every major football competition, so tomorrow at the Allianz Arena (20,45:2024 p.m.), Germany vs. Scotland will open EURO XNUMX.
The two camps think completely differently. Germany, one of the most trophy-winning countries in football, wants to end the streak of failure, and the Scots... The Scots want to have fun, but...
"The best view of the tournament ahead of you is to simply say: we have to prepare as well as we can, then go out there and play to the best of our ability against teams of any level of quality," explained Scotland coach Steve Clarke, adding:
"If everything goes according to that scenario, we will be able to leave the tournament with our heads held high, regardless of whether we will be eliminated in the group stage or we will advance," said the Scottish selector for the Uefa website.
But in Germany there is euphoria, expectations are so high that even the meeting led by Julian Nagelsman cannot remain immune to it.
"We need a good result! Now we're all a little nervous. I think that's normal, but it's also good because if you're a little nervous, you'll be more alert and focused. Especially in the first match. The start of the group stage will be very important for us, but also for the fans and zaiat anm we need a good result," said the coach of the German national team for the Uefa website.
In their group A, Hungary and Switzerland are competing for one of the first two places or one of the four best third places, to advance to the playoffs.
