Darvich captain, focus on Brunner
The German U17 national team starts the European Championship finals in Hungary with a demanding task. On Wednesday evening (8 p.m.), coach Christian Wück’s selection will face Portugal in Debrecen. “A challenging group stage will show where our path will go. In addition to the big goal of becoming European champions, we want to represent Germany properly with good performances and qualify for the possible World Cup,” said Wück.
The five World Cup spots go to the four semi-finalists and the winner of a playoff between the two quarter-finalists who played the best group stage. Other German opponents in the group stage are defending champions France and Scotland. The first and second place finishers in the four groups qualify for the European Championship quarter-finals on May 27th. The semi-finals will be played on May 30th and the final on June 2nd.
“We’re really looking forward to the high point with the 2006 vintage. The European Championship in Hungary is a great opportunity for all of us to prove ourselves internationally,” said Wück about his 20-strong team, led by captain Noah Darvich (SC Freiburg). becomes. Borussia Dortmund has the most positions with Almugera Kabar, Kjell Wätjen, Charles Herrmann and Paris Brunner. Special attention should be paid to the latter, as the striker has scored 24 goals in 31 games for the black and yellow U19s this season (for presentation in the TM talent calendar). Three youngsters come from FC Bayern Munich: goalkeeper Max Schmitt, Maximilian Hennig and Robert Ramsak. Bence Dárdai, son of Hertha coach Pál Dárdai, is also there.
