We still have our destiny in our hands against Germany but it’s a real wake-up call. It could be a reminder, and if it gets us going again better in this Euro, so much the better.

Assistant coach to coach Guillaume Gille, Erick Mathé expects a start from the Mannschaft after winning the last confrontation during the quarter-final at the 2023 World Cup in Poland (35-28): “This team is stable in what it offers and it benefits from additional enthusiasm by playing this Euro at home. The defense is compact and solid in front of its goalkeeper Andreas Wolff. With the series of defeats against us, I think that the German aggressiveness cursor will rise again: they say to themselves that perhaps this is the moment. It is up to us to demonstrate that our performance against Switzerland was not our true face. Because if we talk about the ‘Germany, we must also look in front of our door and imagine the behavior of our team on Tuesday evening.’
