‘We have everything’: Nagelsmann talks up Germany before Scotland opener
Manager urges players to turn nerves into Euro 2024 glory‘We will be under more pressure tomorrow than Scotland’
Julian Nagelsmann has urged his Germany players to channel their nervous energy into a victorious home tournament at Euro 2024, demanding they handle the expectation on their shoulders when they face Scotland in the opening match on Friday night.
There is a sense of renewed optimism around the host nation, who flopped in recent competitions but have revived since the turn of the year. Nagelsmann, who will manage at a major finals for the first time, senses nerves in his squad but believes they can be used to gather potentially decisive momentum.
