Julian Nagelsmann on Germany's 1-1 draw against Switzerland at Euro 2024
German head coach Julian Nagelsmann shared his opinion on Germany's clash against Switzerland at Euro 2024 and said (via @iMiaSanMia on X):
"In the end it's a well-deserved point. Of course, on the counter, you take risks and can concede. We did well to come back. We deserved to equalise. Switzerland were a great opponent, it was an entertaining game. We did well, tactically.
"It's important to have players who can score decisive goals coming on as substitutes. We analyse the opponents in order to pick the starting line-up, and then you can bring in different players from the bench," added the German manager.
The DFB-Elf have won the UEFA European Championship thrice, in 1972, 1980, and 1996.
