England wins against Denmark and is in the final of the European Championship.
The “Markus Lanz” round first discusses the decisive penalty and then the state of the football.
"Markus Lanz" reports live on Wednesday evening after England's EM semi-final triumph against Denmark. A group of experts meets in the studio to match the football evening. The fact that England is in a European Championship final for the first time is considered by the round to be deserved. The fact that the decisive penalty for the English 2-1 winner was a questionable referee decision, on the other hand, creates a smack: “Sterling makes what you do. You don't have to like that. It is not a completely clear wrong decision, so it cannot be repaired, ”said football commentator Marcel Reif, assessing the situation.
"Marcel, when I go shopping in the supermarket, you know how much contact there is," countered soccer coach Ewald Lienen.
“And I've never fallen over.” Reif replied: “Not every touch is a foul, but it hits him on the bottom of the leg.” Sports journalist Lucas Vogelsang takes up Lienen's humorous note: “Because this is the decisive game scene, you have we now have a dream finale.
We have Diva against Diver. "Ex-professional Tabea Kemme sees it similarly:" Sterling goes into the box outnumbered, one against three, and as an attacking player you know: Okay, the angle to the goal is very narrow.
I'm looking for contact.
They know that. "
Harry Kane shoots England into the final: Lienen complains about “Markus Lanz” about England's attitude
Because of their overall performance, England deserved to make it to the final, but Ewald Lienen does not take good care of the way they reached the finals: “When we talk about the self-proclaimed motherland of football, which always talk about fairness, then I have to say I have three today , seen four scenes of Harry Kane lying on his nose at every small opportunity.
And that's a swallow for me.
When you see him fall, look at the referee immediately - did he see it?
That is not England-like and it makes me bitter that such an important game is decided by something like that. "
"Markus Lanz" - these were his guests on July 7th:
Ewald Lienen
- soccer coach
Marcel Reif
- football commentator
Lucas Vogelsang
- sports journalist
Tabea Kemme
- ex-professional soccer player
The “Markus Lanz” group then debates the general trend towards the “art of acting” in paid football. Tabea Kemme knows: “There are also coach characters who now emphasize this again in women's football and say: Okay, as soon as you go into the box and only feel a slight contact, scream! Because that way you can influence the referees. ”Kemme wouldn't like himself like that:“ I'd say no, I'm ashamed of something like that. It's not the kind of football I want to play. "
The fact that Italy is the favorite in the final is attributed to the veterans Chiellini and Bonucci - and wishes the German national team had similar characters: "But Löw didn't want that from the start and has sorted out everything that could have been leading players" , says Marcel Reif and continues: “Because he said: We want to give boys the chance to become leaders.
They did not take advantage of this opportunity because they were overwhelmed with it.
So he brought them back, Müller and Hummels. "Kemme also admits to being a" fan of the Italians ":" These are characters, these are types. "
English national football team the youngest team of the tournament and Italy favorite?
“Mancini plays offensive football with two excellent defenders. Löw tried to play defensive football with three not-so-great defenders. And that's the difference, ”says Vogelsang. Reif and Lienen agree and explain everything that should have been done differently, but Lienen does not want to blame the former national coach for losing the last 16: “A national team is always part of the football culture that we practice in the country. So tying everything to the national coach is not possible. (...) We no longer have certain positions. The full-backs, like you saw with the English today, don't exist with us anymore. "
Kemme agrees with Lienen and explains her move to England, where she played for Arsenal FC: “What did I draw from? That was the internationality to measure myself against the international soccer business. That's why I took the step to England, because I haven't seen this further development in Germany. And this football culture, which I fully support, is different. ”As a professional, you lose the joy of playing when you drill in youth training centers:“ The ease is lost, the wit is lost. ”That is why, Vogelsang notes, it has become German public can enjoy the DFB newcomer Robin Gosens so: “Who has just not gone through a youth training center, who was trained in Holland, who goes to Italy, who has looked for the detour.And who is one of these types. "
“Markus Lanz” - the conclusion of the show
One last time during the European Football Championship, “Markus Lanz” goes live after a knockout game.
For fans of the show, this should be a bearable loss, because the football talk at a late hour rarely ignites.
Talkmaster Lanz takes on the role of a key word and lets go of his rounds: Football commentator Marcel Reif gives the sober expert, football coach Ewald Lienen the screaming admonisher.
Ex-national player Tabea Kemme speaks from the point of view of a professional athlete and sports journalist Lucas Vogelsang contributes one or the other nod.
