With France, a top favorite is waiting for the German team in the EM quarterfinals. How is it in the event of a failure for national coach Christian Wück? Nia Künzer is now becoming clear.
Regardless of the outcome of the quarter-finals of the European Football Championship against France, it is clear: national coach Christian Wück does not have to worry about his post. This made DFB sports director Nia Künzer clarified a few hours before the kick-off in Basel (from 9 p.m. in the live ticker at T-Online) in the ARD.
“We started the path together about eight months ago, wanted to introduce young players, implement a brave, active style of play. We will continue to take these steps and continue to accompany the development of the team,” said Künzer.
Künzer praised the dealership team’s dealings with the situation after the 1: 4 against Sweden in the last group game. Wück and his assistants Maren Meinert and Saskia Bartusiak experience them as “very prudent, very analytically, very quiet”. The group stays with it as you have made it. Everyone involved knew how to deal with tournament situations, said Künzer. It is now a matter of understanding the quarter -finals as an opportunity.
The team had left the defeat against Sweden, emphasized the DFB sports director. Even more: The players have fun with football again and want to show what they are made of, “emphasized Künzer and gave insights into the intended approach:” We want to be wide awake together, ensure that the rooms are filled at all times and develop defensive lust, but continue to play courageously and implement our offensive qualities, set needles. “
