Two wins and a place in the knockout phase are not enough for the national coach. Julian Nagelsmann wants to win first place against Switzerland. Then there might not be a “Giant chunk”.
Julian Nagelsmann is determined to finish the group phase of the European Championships at home in first place. However, the national coach’s calculation for this interim goal is not only related to a possibly not quite as strong opponent in the round of 16.
!First and foremost, it has an impact both internally and externally when you become first”said Nagelsmann on Wednesday evening in Stuttgart after the 2-0 win against Hungary, with which the DFB selection has already reached the knockout round early. “First place is important. We want to win all the games.” On Sunday, the direct duel with Switzerland in Frankfurt will determine who wins the group.

As first in Group A, you might also get “not the giant chunk” in the round of 16, which will take place on June 29th in Dortmund. The opponents would then be the second-placed team in Group C, which includes top favorites England, Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia. Captain Ilkay Gündoğan also declared first place to be their goal. “We want to be first. To do that we need a win against Switzerland”said the 33-year-old, who scored the 2-0 goal against Hungary.
