Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann commends his team’s cohesive performance in their 5-1 win over Scotland in the Euro 2024 opener. Young stars Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala shine as Germany gears up to face Hungary and Switzerland in Group A.
Munich, Germany (Bollywood Fever): Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann lauded his cohesive team for their dominant 5-1 victory over 10-man Scotland in the Euro 2024 opener, emphasizing the importance of their collective success rather than individual performances.
Germany’s goals came from Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala, and a Kai Havertz penalty in the first half, followed by late goals from Niclas Fuellkrug and Emre Can.
“Even though today was only the first step, it was a very good one. We can build on this and we’re very happy,” Nagelsmann said after Germany’s triumphant start in Munich. “It’s great that we scored several goals, it gives everyone a good feeling. In the first 20 minutes we were extremely good, we were very dominant and very aggressive, we made no mistakes.”
Germany’s young attackers, 21-year-olds Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala, each scored, signaling their readiness to lead the team into a new era. When asked if they could inspire national excitement similar to former players Lukas Podolski and Bastian Schweinsteiger in 2006, Nagelsmann focused on the team’s unity.
“I don’t want to pick out individual performances… it’s about the unit as a whole. The players do everything to make sure the player next to them looks good too. The fans perhaps believe in us a little bit more now than they did before the game.”
Musiala, named man of the match, said the high score boosted Germany’s confidence for their upcoming clash with Hungary.
“To win this comfortably was a good sign. We can take that confidence into the next game and we won’t let it go to our heads.”
Germany will face Hungary on Wednesday before their final Group A match against Switzerland.
