Today's European Cup highlights: The host team fought for the qualification, and the "former Yugoslav civil war" was particularly eye-catching

After the first round of the group stage, all the giants basically passed the test, and there was no upset, which also raised the excitement of this European Cup to a new level. The second round of the group stage will be a key battle for advancement, and after gradually adapting to the speed and intensity of this tournament, the teams will inevitably show their real skills to compete for the three points. Today, Germany will try to qualify early with two consecutive wins, and Switzerland will also qualify if they can break through Scotland; Slovenia and Serbia can't afford to lose.

Match: Thursday, June 20 00:00 Euro Championship Group A Round 2 Germany VS Hungary

l Matchup information

The Germans put in an amazing performance in the first game, with a 5-1 thrashing of Scotland to ease the pressure and set the stage for the second round vs Hungary. Germany is currently ranked 16th in the world and worth a total of 831 million euros, which is much better than their opponents Hungary (ranked 26th in the world and worth only 165 million euros).

In terms of stars, Wirtz, Gundogan, Musiala and Kroos, who performed well in the first match, will inevitably attract attention in the second leg. Among them, Wirtz and Musiala are only 21 years old, but their worth has exceeded the 100 million mark, and they are the undisputed leaders of Germany; Although Gundogan and Kroos are 33 or 4 years old, their back-up effect is still obvious, as evidenced by the high scores of 7.9 and 7.5 in the first game.

The outside world's evaluation of the first game of the two teams is also diametrically opposed. Germany was questioned before the game, but after the big win, it turned into a target of praise; Hungary was considered the favorite of the dark horse before the game, but they did not expect to lose 1-3 to Switzerland, exposing the problem.

In the last 6 games, Germany has 4 wins and 2 draws, while Hungary has 4 wins and 2 losses.

l Historical record

In the last 5 meetings between the two teams, the German team has 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, occupying an absolute advantage. Scored 8 goals and conceded 4 goals, which is also the leading side. However, the last time Germany lost 0-1 to Hungary in the UEFA Nations League in September 2022, Sholoy's scorpion tail made the difficult situation even worse.

l What to watch before the game

1. Germany's 21-year-old midfielder Wirtz (No. 17): The first game was hot, and the second leg is still expected

Key words of stars: all-round stars, inspirational players who do not give up

In the opening game of the 5-1 victory over Scotland, Wirtz completed the task of scoring the first goal and also made his career debut in the tournament, giving him a "good start". In the race, Wirtz showed an amazing all-round attribute.

His ability to run and move up front was the key to Germany's efficiency. The perfect combination of discipline, mobility and systematization is the fundamental task of Wirtz's competition, and it is also a demonstration of his personal characteristics.

The painful experience of suffering a serious injury at the age of 18 and taking a year and a half off is something that Wirtz will never forget. It is this experience that allows him to prove his performance again after returning from recuperation, and he has gained more respect. Many giants are already closely watching his performance, and it is believed that Wirtz's future will be brighter.

2. Germany's 37-year-old coach Julian Nagelsmann: The second leg is key to showing strength under pressure

Key words for stars: forbearance and outburst

As the youngest manager (not yet 37 years old) in this tournament and even in many tournaments, Nagelsmann is under a lot of pressure. After all, the German team slipped to 16th in the world rankings, the worst result ever; Prior to this, the World Cup was eliminated in successive group stages, which confirmed that the team has many problems. This time on home soil, it was not easy for Nagelsmann to lead the team.

Fortunately, the big win in the first game greatly relieved the pressure on him and created favorable conditions for the line. The second round vs Hungary will be his second test, as they will need to pass this level to advance to the knockout rounds.

Nagelsmann is a manager with a lot of personality, and although there are doubts about his coaching ability, he still boldly uses the old and new combination of midfield, playing five 10s to stimulate the vitality of the team.

l Result prediction - there is no suspense that Germany will win

Germany's big win in the first leg gave them a huge amount of confidence and made the home fans trust their team even more. In the second leg, Nagelsmann's team will still be able to win comfortably against an opponent who did not play well in the first game. Referring to the comparison of firepower, it is optimistic that Germany will beat Hungary 3-0.

l Lace on the field - the self-redemption of 23-year-old Hungarian midfielder Szobosloy (No. 10).

There is no doubt that the first defeat to Switzerland was a defeat for Hungary, who did not perform well enough. Among them, midfielder Szobosloy has been criticised for failing to link up the team, and Hungary is slightly lacking in the ability to take chances. This also makes many female fans quite sad, after all, he is known as Liverpool's "beautiful man", but he has a large number of female fans cheering. In the second leg against the strong German team, Sobo must work hard to complete self-redemption, hoping that his handsome appearance can match the performance on the field, and truly achieve "handsome and playable".
