Euro 2024, Nagelsmann does not accept elimination

The words of Julian Naglesmann

Julian Nagelsmann spoke to the Uefa website after his Germany's elimination at Euro 2024: "Congratulations to Spain for reaching the semifinals. The game è was too open in the first half. We were better in the second half and from 60° minutes on, we were clearly the better team. Our late equalizer è was richly deserved. We conceded the defeat goal with the last chance. Unfortunately, we were not able to put enough pressure on the wing'wing".

"I told the players that they do not deserve to get out of the competition. We all miss our families but none of us wanted to leave. From the beginning of these last six weeks there's been a very good atmosphere in the group. You could see that we gave everything to win this game. Every player, whether he was a starter or on the bench, gave everything he had to win the game. È it was a painful match".

Quotation on Kroos: "È impossible to overestimate Toni’s career. È probably unique for a German player. È definitely one of Germany’s greatest players. Everyone knows his success but not everyone s character. He spoke to the team at a very difficult time for him personally. He always sees himself as part of this group".
