Germany vs France match review, 8:00 p.m. June 8: The battle for honor between two fallen giants

VHO - Commenting on the match between Germany and France, UEFA Nations League 3rd place, the home team probably entered the field with more motivation to win than their opponents on the other side of the battle line.

Germany vs France form

The Germans’ hopes of reaching the final and lifting the trophy on home soil were not fulfilled. Although Florian Wirtz opened the scoring early in the second half by beating the offside trap and making a dangerous header, Die Mannschaft still paid a heavy price for their defensive problems.

In just over 5 minutes, from 63 to 68, Francisco Conceicao and Cris Ronaldo stunned the home fans with two consecutive fatal stabs.

Julian Nagelsmann's efforts to chase the ball afterwards were ineffective and the German team had to leave the field with their heads bowed.

The dream is broken, now it is time for the home team to turn to the goal of restoring honor. Coach Nagelsmann certainly expects his students to play more effectively and passionately, instead of showing a lackluster performance in the semi-finals. But the task of winning promises to be not easy.

In the last two encounters, both in friendly matches, Germany defeated France with the same score of 2-1 and 2-0. However, in official tournaments, the story is not so optimistic for Die Mannschaft.

Specifically, in the last 4 encounters with Les Bleus in the UEFA Nations League and Euro finals, Germany has not enjoyed a single victory, even suffering 3 defeats.

Not to mention at the present time, the home team's personnel quality also appears to be inferior to that of their opponents on the other side of the battle line.

Coach Nagelsmann does not have many quality options in each position. On the contrary, in the past few decades, French football has not lacked talent. The present is no exception. The Gallic Roosters possess a star-studded squad that makes any other team dream.

Germany is expected to regain some honor by defeating France.

If Germany fell victim to a comeback by Portugal, France almost pulled off a miracle in the other semi-final against Spain. Despite being down by four goals, Deschamps' team still stubbornly pursued and eventually had to leave the field with a narrow 4-5 score.

However, coach Deschamps himself admitted that his team may not place too much importance on winning or losing in the next 90 minutes. Instead, the match at MHPArena could be a good time for the away team to experiment and give more opportunities to new players.
