U-21 European Championship final: Too nervous in the absolute highlight game
|
Reading time: 3 min.
|Germany's young footballers presented themselves as cool guys throughout the tournament. But in the final against England, things went wrong, losing 3-2 after extra time—the bad luck was enormous.
Shortly before kickoff of the final in Bratislava, coach Antonio Di Salvo was raving on Sat1's microphone about how "cool" his U-21 footballers had played so far at this European Championship. They had advanced to the final against England with five impressive wins in a row, but in the ultimate highlight match, the German team initially appeared so nervous that they were already 2-0 down after 24 minutes.
