VfB Stuttgart's Boss Hoeneß Still Faiths in Germany's Euro Success
VfB Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeneß maintains faith in a triumphant German national soccer team at the 2024 European Championship, despite the team's sluggish performances in recent matches against Turkey and Austria. "I've watched those games, of course," said Hoeneß, adding his belief in the German contingent's influential part in the EM next summer. Avoiding any suggestions for improvement, he remarked, "I'm not about to add fuel to the fire now."
The task before coach Julian Nagelsmann and his squad isn't an easy one, Hoeneß noted. He stressed the necessity of unity, introspection, honesty, and decisive action to bounce back. Hoeneß underscores his unwavering trust in the team's abilities. "They don't need more critics now," he opined. "The players and coaching staff need to stick together, analyze their performance, offer constructive criticism, and improve."
Hoeneß, VfB's coach and current league frontrunner, expresses enduring support for the German team, even amidst setbacks. This weekend, Hoeneß's team heads to Eintracht Frankfurt for a hotly anticipated match. The German squad, although dealing with a string of lackluster results, remains resilient. In the Nations League, they've advanced to the knockout stage for the first time and are set to face Italy in their upcoming quarterfinals in March.
With President of the German Football Association (DFB), Bernd Neuendorf, backing Nagelsmann's strategy and commitment, and Julian Nagelsmann himself set to continue as the team's leader through Euro 2028, the German team shines with a shared sense of purpose and a steely resolve. The DFB's roster of talent, unity, and resilience prove that a rebound from their recent slump is within reach.
