The live ticker.

  • Germany versus Romania -: - (- :-), Tuesday, 6 p.m.

  • The German U21 national team is about to make it to the quarter-finals at the European Championships.

  • But in the event of a defeat against Romania, the team of coach Stefan Kuntz threatens the end.

    We accompany the game in the live ticker.

Budapest - The German U21 national team will face Romania at the end of the group stage.

League leaders Germany a draw is enough to make the quarter-finals perfect.

But the starting position is deceptive: If the team loses, they are threatened with premature exit if the Netherlands win a parallel game against co-hosts Hungary.

U21 EM: Germany against Romania in the live ticker - Matthäus gives the decisive tip

Not much is missing: a draw against Romania on Tuesday in Budapest is enough to reach the first stage goal.

"Then we would only have knockout games at the top level ahead of us, that would be sensational for me," said U21 coach Stefan Kuntz *, who has moved with the DFB * team from the previous venue Szekesfehervar to the Hungarian capital.

The team lives there in the chic “Anantara New York Palace” hotel - a recommendation from “Hungary insider and tipster Lothar Matthäus *”, as Kuntz revealed.

Matthäus has lived in Budapest for many years, coached the Hungarian national team in 2004 and 2005 and even celebrated a win against Germany.

Now he is being traded as a possible successor to national coach Jogi Löw - just like Kuntz.

However, Kuntz should have the better cards.

Especially when he reaches the knockout round of a European Championship for the third time in a row with the U21s, despite all the problems in the German youth sector.

It would be the next letter of application in the direction of the DFB, even if Kuntz continues to keep a low profile.

After the EM “there is still enough time to discuss things,” said Kuntz last.

U21 EM: Germany against Romania in the live ticker - Kuntz is reminiscent of strong Romanians

Because first the duty must be fulfilled against the uncomfortable Romanians.

Although a German U21 has never lost to Romania in eight matches, Kuntz still has bad memories of the last duel.

In the second place in the European Championship in 2019, Kuntz's eleven defeated the Romanians in the semifinals, whose senior national team lost 0: 1 to the German national team on Sunday, thanks to two late goals with 4: 2.

“Nobody knew the Romanians back then, and then we were almost eliminated.

They bring a lot of quality and, above all, mentality to the pitch, ”said the DFB coach.

The 58-year-old also stressed that the Dutch had "had a hard time" at the 1-1 start of the group stage against Romania.

U21 EM: Germany against Romania in the live ticker - Moukoko use on the brink

The fact that one point is enough for the ticket to the knockout phase does not change the approach for Kuntz.

"We can't say now that we can play Romania backwards," said the national coach.

“We have to give it 100 percent again.” Whether Dortmund's striker Youssoufa Moukoko would be able to help for the first time after his bruised shin was initially still open.

With a win, the DFB selection would also have first place in the group and thus the possibly easier opponent in the quarter-finals, which will be played on May 31st.

But the team doesn't think about that.

“Sooner or later there will be good opponents anyway.

That's why we really don't care, ”said Mainz's Jonathan Burkardt, who was the last goal preparer for Lukas Nmecha's important 1-1 draw against the Netherlands.

Denmark, France or Russia are the possible German opponents in the event of progress.
