Weak performance at European Championship U21: German debacle is perfect

1/6
The defending champion is out: Germany is beaten by England at the U21 European Championship.

German football never settles down. The senior national team is in crisis a year ahead of the home EM. Now the youngsters are also weakening and will be eliminated in the preliminary round at the U21 European Championship. And that as defending champion, who reached the finals in the past three tournaments. In a group with Israel, the Czech Republic and England, the team of Antonio Di Salvo (44) only gets a poor point.

Germany could have moved into second place thanks to a victory in the last preliminary round against the English, who have already qualified for the quarter-finals, and Israel’s support in the parallel game against the Czech Republic. But in Batumi (Geo) it quickly becomes clear: This venture fails because of the first requirement. In the fourth minute goalkeeper Noah Atubolu (21) hits for the first time. A second time in the 21st minute.

Mentally already on vacation

The English, who compete with eight new players in the starting eleven compared to the game against Israel, overwhelm the German defense, which is probably already on vacation mentally. A flop at the back and the DFB junior team miserably squandered their few chances in the first half. The desolation of the second 45 minutes can hardly be surpassed. The duel ends 0:2.

“That was a quality difference today”, midfielder Tom Krauss (22) analyzes on Sat1. “We deserved to be eliminated. We can’t be satisfied at all. It’s very disappointing.” Head coach Di Salvo says: “We imagined it very differently. We did not start the tournament well with the draw against Israel when we had all the advantages on our side. We then lost bitterly to the Czech Republic. And today the defeat was absolutely deserved and justified The English were at least a notch better.”

Particularly annoying for Germany: Israel won 1-0 against the Czech Republic in Kutaisi (Geo) thanks to a goal from Omri Gandelman (23) and will now meet Georgia in the quarter-finals on Saturday. Group winner England will play against Portugal on Sunday. (yup)
