Bernd Neuendorf sees the home European Championship as a great opportunity for the German national team. The DFB President warns not to miss this.
The European Championship in Germany offers the DFB team the opportunity to make important reparations. Association President Bernd Neuendorf emphasizes the “great opportunity”.
The European Championship in Germany is a double-edged sword for the national team. After the last three disappointing tournaments, where twice the sobering group failure at a world championship was the result, things can go in two directions at the European Championships.
On the one hand, the domestic tournament and the run-up to it give the Germans the chance to get excited about the DFB team again. Recently we heard from one in particular. With great football and good results, and that in your own country, a big alliance would be possible.
On the other hand, a new and then all the more painful low blow is possible if this European Championship should also be a debacle in the interests of the team. The frustration would only grow.

Because a lot seems to be possible and conceivable between these two extremes, Bernd Neuendorf also appealed to football Germany in an open letter.
The DFB President promised (via transfer market): “From the experience of the World Cup in Qatar we will draw the right and necessary conclusions together.” This analysis will be approached “self-critically and with an open mind, but full of motivation and confidence” – with a view to the European Championships in your own country.
“Because with EURO 2024 we have a great opportunity in mind – which we must not miss,” he warned.
Neuendorf was certain that Hansi Flick was the right coach for this challenge: “We are absolutely convinced of his management style, his idea of football, his passion and positive energy for a successful European Championship.”
