Ljubljana - After 2009 and 2017, the German U21 national team wants to win the title at a European championship again.

As in the semifinals, Kuntz will bet against the Portuguese on 18-year-old Florian Wirtz, who opened the gate to the final with his two goals. But not only Wirtz himself, but also the collective convinced against the neighbors. “We have to try, like against the Netherlands, to take away their interest in the game and play our game. Then I think it will work out against Portugal too, ”said Cologne midfielder Salih Özcan.
Before the game, the youth team has to travel 400 kilometers from the Hungarian Szekesfehervar to the Slovenian capital Ljubljana, where the final will take place.
The anticipation also increased among the U21 kickers, who rely on their team spirit against strong Portuguese.
“We are in a very good mood, and the fact that we always stick together as a team decides the whole thing.
If we get it back on the pitch like we did against the Netherlands, we'll get it too, ”said Mergim Berisha from Red Bull Salzburg.

"If we perform with the same attitude as before, I am sure that we will be successful."
