The German Football Association (DFB) and the German national team present a desolate picture six months before the home championship. Few people have confidence in their neighbors – not even former national coach Berti Vogts (77). He does not see the German national football team as favorites for the European Championship at home next summer.
“The whole situation of the national team and the DFB worries me, so we have to wait and see if there is enough for the title,” he told the “Rheinische Post”: “The favorites for the European Championship are others. France, Spain, England and Italy are further ahead than us.”
“Against Switzerland for group victory”
However, the DFB team received “an absolutely feasible group” in the draw, the 1996 European champion coach explains: “The Scots are always a class weaker when they do not play on the island. We recently lost to the Hungarians, but Germany should be strong enough at the European Championship. The match against Switzerland should be about winning the group.”
At best, the team should light a fire right at the start. “A tournament in your own country is always an opportunity. It would be very important for our football to make something of it,” Vogts emphasizes. He couldn’t remember ‘our national team being talked about so badly. I have to admit that it hurts.” However, at the European Championships “much of what has gone wrong in recent years can be made up for.” (AFP/sbe)
