"We basically agreed with Bastian Schweinsteiger last year that we want to continue on our common path," explained ARD sports coordinator Axel Balkausky: "Over the past three years, Bastian has shown that he is not just an entertaining conversationalist, but also excellent at analyzing.

At the same time, he also dares to name and classify critical issues – he clearly showed that during the World Cup.”

“Are we a tournament team?

No, we are not at all.

You need a good defence, you need stability in the team and that starts at the back.

You have to manage to take teams out of the game.

You were 1-0 up twice and managed to turn the game around again.

These things shouldn't happen," said Schweinsteiger at the time, and asked with a view to the defense: "Where is this fire?

This greed?

That it sometimes rattles and you counteract it.

No, we stand away.”

Are we a tournament team?

No, we are not at all.

ARD expert Bastian Schweinsteiger after the World Cup in Qatar

EM 2024 in Germany: Opening game in Munich Allianz Arena - with Bastian Schweinsteiger?

After the 2-1 draw against Japan at the start of the World Cup, Schweinsteiger ruthlessly dismantled the German national team's game on TV.

And at the EM 2024?

Will the football star from Kolbermoor have his peak as an expert in the Allianz Arena in Munich, where he once celebrated great success?

On June 14, 2024, the DFB team will play the opening game in the north of the Isar metropolis.

So far it is unclear whether ARD or ZDF will show the prelude – and who in return will be allowed to broadcast the final.
