Julian Nagelsmann (Germany) after the victory against Denmark: “The rain destabilized everyone”

Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann after the victory against Denmark in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 (2-0): “The first twenty minutes of the game were the best we have played since the start of the tournament, then the rain unsettled everyone. Denmark didn’t shoot in the first half, but in the second they put more pressure on us. There is a lot of work to do before the quarter-finals, we have to be a little more patient in the build-up phase and wait for the right moments.”

Nico Schlotterbeck, defender of Germany: “I think we had a great match and I hope the Dortmund fans enjoyed it (he plays for Borussia Dortmund and the match was played in his stadium). I am very happy for the team, it is the reward for hard work. We handled the interruption due to the rain well. We played with euphoria and pleasure and now we go to Stuttgart (for the quarter-finals). I grew up a few miles away. »

Thomas Delaney, Denmark midfielder: “It’s very tough. We played against a good team. We just had to rub salt in the wound. I don’t know if it was a big offside on our goal, but it was probably my fault. It was like a bucket of cold water on the head. We were very involved, we suffered a lot, we have to be honest and say that too. It was a difficult game for us, and it was probably the same for Germany.”
