Ahead of the tournament opener in Munich on June 14 against Scotland, the tournament host has been gripped by anticipation as cars and backyards are being decorated with German flags. Weather conditions are improving, and barbecues are being planned. "We all can't wait for the start. At my parents' house, the garden is covered with German shirts and flags," Dortmund striker Niklas Fulkrug explained, "The teams' mood is at the highest level. We can Go away, we could be part of a historic event.,
After arriving late to the team camp due to their participation in the 2024 UEFA Champions League Final, the 31-year-old player said the team is aiming for nothing less than the 2024 title, reports Xinhua news agency. The forward said, "I was on the train from Hanover to Munich after visiting my parents. On the crowded train, I was part of a quiz held by a school class on the short holidays after high school graduation." "The mood was very good, and optimism was sealed."
While coach Julian Nagelsmann is in the final preparations, former German national coach Joachim Löw described Germany as a strong contender for the tournament.The former coach said, "I am sure we can go very far. I have a feeling we will cross the finish line, reach the finals and win."
Loew said Germany were at least keeping pace with France and England, while Fulkrug reported a strong team spirit and determination ahead of group fixtures against Scotland, Hungary and Switzerland.
While reaching the best-case scenario only requires the capture of Bayern winger Leroy Sane, the 2014 World Champions team is on its way to creating a summer fairy tale 2.0 like 2006, when the entire country turned into a party zone. “We are well equipped up front and are enjoying a variety of options because we can rely on a strong and experienced defence,” Fulkrug said.,
The quality of the team is spreading hopes that Germany will not gamble the first game at the FIFA World Cup in 2018 and 2022, in addition to the 2021 European Championship. "It's a different team and a new coach, so there's no point in comparison," the attacker said.
The country's fourth European title is realistic, he said, because "we enjoy a high-class starting eleven in addition to top-class options from the bench."
Association sporting director and German striker legend Rudi Voeller further spoke of "an amazing event" and "we will have a great game against Scotland this Friday".
Amidst the cheering fans, Voeller was delighted by the intense training sessions, which were dominated by fierce battles for the ball.To watch the pairing of Fulkrug and 2024 Champions League winner Antonio Ruediger, both declared friends, sometimes went beyond normal sporting competition procedures. “We are full of energy,” Fulkrug said with a smile on his face."
