Denmark's match with Germany: A repeat of 1992?

Impressive wins against Scotland and Hungary brought enthusiasm back to the team. But when playing against the Swiss team, a problem was seen in the German team.

The team was almost on the brink of defeat, but Niklas Fuelkrug equalized in injury time. Due to this result, Germany managed to win the group. For the German team, it came as a timely warning. Otherwise, German fans were already dreaming of their team winning the Euros for the fourth time. However, it has now been decided that coach Julian Nagelsmann still has a lot of work to do if he wants to take his team forward.

Denmark beat Germany in the Euro 1992 final in an incredible victory. At that time, Denmark had failed to even qualify for the Euros. However, with the expulsion of Yugoslavia, Denmark had an opportunity. In the end, that team won the title. Before that final, Germany did not even consider Denmark a strong opponent. Bertie Vogts, who won both the Euro and the World Cup for Germany, believes that Germany mistakenly considered Denmark to be weak at that time.

He wrote, "In 1992, we were the strongest contenders for the title over Denmark." But in the end, he won. The situation is almost the same in today's game. Right now our players are talking as if they have already won the title. What he believes is that the current Denmark team is not as strong as it was in 1992, but this time the pressure will be on the entire German team. He believes, "This team is capable of producing surprises."

In 2023, Germany won only three of the 11 matches they played. This team is undefeated in 2024. The team has won 5 matches and tied two matches. Coach Nagelsmann has to be thanked for that, as he keeps repeating the same starting 11 roster. These coaches have only made general changes when players have had injury problems.

This is why stability has come to the German team. One of the key players in the match against Denmark will be missing centre-back Jonathan Tah. Because he got his second yellow card in the match against Switzerland. Borussia Dortmund's talented Niko Scheterbeck could play in his place. He believes that the German team knows almost everything about Denmark. He says, "Therefore, we have a good idea of ​​how to play against Denmark."
