Only a few hours separate us from the kick-off of the UEFA European Championship "Euro 2024," which will feature a match between Germany and Scotland.
Germany is hosting the European Championship from June 14 to July 14, with many top teams participating.
The Euro is one of the greatest tournaments in history, second only to the World Cup, due to the prestigious teams and high-quality players that participate, among other factors.
Shock of the Openers:
Football fans are eagerly awaiting the kick-off of Euro 2024, with German fans dreaming of clinching the European trophy and breaking out of the cycle of negative results, including not winning the first match in the last three major tournaments.
Julian Nagelsmann, the coach of the German national team, said in this regard, "I think what gives me hope is the last two weeks, where the team has trained very well."
He added, "We can change that in the match against Scotland, and what happened is in the past. I was not part of the previous tournaments."
He concluded, "Therefore, I cannot speak about those matches. I can only look from the outside like you, and what matters now is the first match."
More Than Just a Match:
On the other hand, Liverpool star and Scotland captain Andrew Robertson explained that "the match against Germany is more than just a game and holds great importance for his country."
The Scotland captain continued in his statements to the UEFA website, "When I was young, thinking about the matches I wanted to be part of, this is one of them. Everyone is excited about what can happen in this encounter."
He continued, "We have a lot of work to do against Germany. It feels like we've been waiting for this day for a long time."
About leading the Scotland national team for the 50th time in his career, he said, "Of course, I won’t have a more important match than the opener of the most prestigious European championship, and wearing the captain's armband for the 50th time is unbelievable."
