Germany Men’s national overcame tough opposition in Denmark in their EURO 2024 last 16 match. The side were happy with the 2-0 victory, but were also self-critical.
Julian Nagelsmann: It was a bizarre knockout match. The first 20 minutes were our best in the tournament so far. Then there was a little pause. We changed things up a little bit after the rain stoppage and our defending subsequently improved. We said to the team that there’ll always be phases when we’re not playing at 100%. We need to stay more patient and wait for our moments.
Nico Schlotterbeck: We played great tonight and were supported by amazing fans. The stadium was rocking. I’m immensely pleased for the team, our hard work earned us this victory. I think it’s clear that something very special is happening in this country.
David Raum: It was a wild game with stoppages, VAR checks, a penalty and lots of chances. It was a very interesting game for the neutral, but a nerve-wracking game for Germany fans. It didn’t all go to plan, but we played with real courage. In the end, our joy of playing was what made the difference. I was so pleased to be named in the starting XI and wanted to give it my all and repay the coach’s trust in me.
Joshua Kimmich: We found our way into the game more after the Denmark goal was chalked off. We’re on a good streak and haven’t lost in a long time, which gives us confidence. Tonight’s subs also did well, and that is typical of a good team.
