At 3:00 a.m. on June 30, Beijing time, the second game of the 1/8 finals of the European Cup, the host Germany will face Denmark, and CCTV5 and Migu Sports will broadcast it live. Before the game, UEFA officially announced that the referee of the match was Oliver from England.
In the group stage, Germany took advantage of the momentum of the home stadium and fired up all the firepower, scoring 8 goals and conceding only 2 goals, and advanced to the round of 16 with the first place in the group; Denmark is not weak in the face of strength, not strong in the face of weakness, and has not tasted victory yet, and has advanced to the second place in the group with three consecutive draws.
The two teams met at Euro 2012, which Germany won, and have not faced each other in major tournaments since, with the most recent clash coming in a friendly in 2021, when the two teams drew with each other. This battle is also the first time in 12 years that the two sides have met in the European Championship.
Judging from the current lineup play of the two teams, Germany has the ability to penetrate short passes in the middle, and the breakthrough crosses on the side are also quite threatening, with rich offensive means and relatively solid defense; Kroos's drop-back and ball-winning organization has made the team's attack very fluid, and the trident combination of Musiala, Wirtz, and Havertz has matured day by day, and the team is in good shape!
According to reports, Phil Kruger, the center of India, is expected to start the game in place of Wirtz in this game! In this regard, Phil Krueger also said: According to the coach, our squad structure depends on the opponent, and we hope to win the championship!
Denmark as a Nordic powerhouse, there are a number of players in the Bundesliga and the Premier League, tall, tough style, not afraid of confrontation, although the team has the veteran Eriksen in the midfield, the backbone of the defense, Christensen, Hojbjerg, etc. are also stable, but the attack is weak, and the overall performance of the team is mediocre! Coach Jullemann said: "We need to improve the quality of our attack, keep the hunger to win and believe that we can beat the opposition!
Pre-match analysis
Denmark's overall pressing defense is excellent and good at seizing opportunities for opponents' mistakes, but Eriksen, the core of the midfield, suddenly suffered an upset stomach and missed pre-match training, which also left hidden dangers; Germany, on the other hand, have home advantage and are slightly better in terms of overall strength and recent form, but defender Jonatanta is suspended for a yellow card and Rudiger is also doubtful due to a leg injury, and the defence will be tested.
In this game, the host Germany's patience to improve the conversion speed is the key, and it is expected to win in regular time!
