After the win against France, the German national team would like to improve on the duel with the Netherlands.
The voices for the test match.
Munich – The 2-0 win over runner-up world champion France caused a certain amount of euphoria around the German national team.
The second test of the last international break before the European Championship in the summer is against the Netherlands, which is peppered with numerous Bundesliga professionals.
We summarize the voices surrounding the game here.
Julian Nagelsmann (national coach) before the game on RTL about ...
... the mood after the France game:
“A little more confident, perhaps, but not relaxed now.
I feel like the way they received it was very healthy.”
... the return of Toni Kroos:
“If he can maintain the level, we will all be very happy.
But he also needs the other players to deliver his performance.
Overall, we are very happy with him.
As a guy he's great and very important for us, he has no airs and graces and integrates well into the group."
... Leroy Sané:
"It's important that he's here.
He only came now because he has a few aches and pains and therefore stayed in Munich because the care at FC Bayern is better guaranteed than here.”
... Lineup for the game against the Netherlands:
“We always have to react to what happens in the next eight weeks.
But we have an idea for the roles of the individual players.
The mood from the bench was really good against France.
Of course we're trying to get the first eleven to get used to it.
But that doesn’t mean that there can’t be any more changes until the European Championships.”

Leroy Sané (DFB player) before the game on RTL about...
... the atmosphere in the national team:
“The atmosphere here is great, everything is a bit new.
The boys also said that the atmosphere is great, Julian is doing very well.
It was a strong performance against France.”
... the chances of winning the European Championship:
“I have a lot of confidence in us.
We have to get going well.
It’s fun to watch the boys and then soon join in because we play good football.”

... his stay at FC Bayern beyond the summer:
“We, my family and I, feel very, very comfortable at the club.
My goal is to win the Champions League with FC Bayern.
Next year we have a CL final at home, that’s a big goal.”
Toni Kroos (DFB player) after the game on RTL about ...
... the game:
“I’m proud of the team.
It was good for us that not many people brought a backpack here and that a radical exchange took place beforehand.
We took the momentum and self-confidence with us from the last game.
A few months ago we would have collapsed after falling behind, but that didn't happen today.”
... the euphoria in the national team
: “Something has emerged that wasn’t there before.
I hope that we can take the self-confidence with us into the tournament and then we will play a good European Championship.”
Julian Nagelsmann (national coach) after the game on RTL about ...
... the win against the Netherlands:
“The motto was that we wanted to win the second game too.
It's just good for us because the opponent was strong.
By preparing before the European Championships, we can create even more chances in front of the goal.
It was fun in the ten days with the boys.
The difference from the previous games was that we really wanted to win.”
... the change in the team
: “We have found a good mix.
Players also accept when they don't play and then make a commitment when they come off the bench.
Niclas Füllkrug and David Raum got along well.
Pascal Groß had a good influence on the game.
I felt great acceptance in the team.”
... Goalscorer Mittelstädt
: “The corner was rehearsed.
In the end, Maxi's action is exactly what I want to see.
He makes a mistake, shortly afterwards he scores such a dream goal and then shows a top game.
He’s good for us and I hope he stays stable in Stuttgart.”
Goalscorer Maximilian Mittelstädt (DFB player) after the game on RTL about ...
... the dream of the national team:
“As a little boy, you dream about it.
I started this on Saturday and was able to continue it today.
Today was my first home game for the DFB team – just great.”
... his mistake before the 0-1:
“Of course that shouldn’t happen.
What was important was that I kept going and didn't let it unsettle me.
I’m glad I was able to make up for my mistake with the goal.”
