Britain's "The Sun" said on the 12th (Korea Standard Time), "Our columnist Jurgen Klinsmann expected Germany to sincerely admit it if England wins the UEFA Euro 2024."
The Sun announced that the opening of Euro 2024 was just around the corner on the 10th. "We have prepared a 'Dream Team' of star columnists to bring you the best news," he said, announcing the arrival of Jurgen Klinsmann. 토토사이트 추천
"Jack Wilshire, Harry Redknapp, Gordon Strakhan and Jurgen Klinsmann start the final countdown with a Q&A in front of their Sun subscribers," the media reported.
"If the English national team wins the championship, it will be highly respected in Germany," Klinsmann said on Wednesday. That is a rather controversial remark. The English and German national soccer teams are considered the biggest rivals in Europe.
When there was a match between England and Germany, the English media even mentioned Nazi Germany's airstrikes in London during World War II, revealing their hatred for the German national team.
Against this backdrop, German Klinsmann predicted that England would win. On Thursday, he said, "Harry Kane is really desperate for a trophy. Being in Bayern Munich will be a great help. Not only will he score a huge number of goals, but he will also be able to experience the European stage. I love Kane in Germany."
"Maybe I can lift his first career trophy with the England national team as a member of Munich," he said, predicting England's victory.
He also talked about Jude Bellingham, who has emerged as the top star of the English national team. Klinsmann said, "His courage to play abroad is amazing. He can speak German and he is learning Spanish. You should consider this experience like a school and love and enjoy soccer. The whole world already recognizes him."
When asked if England is the favorite to win the title, he said, "Now is the right time." After the World Cup in Russia, the Euro, and the World Cup in Qatar, England has matured enough to handle all expectations and pressures. The same is true for Coach Gareth Southgate. This is truly an English moment."
On Wednesday, Klinsmann applauded and said Germany would admit England's victory. "It would be a different story if Germany beats Germany in the final and England win, but if England win at a time when Germany has already been eliminated, it will be respected and praised by Germany," Klinsmann said. It is a remark that could offend German fans.
This year's Euros will be held in Germany. The German team will overcome the shock of the 2018 World Cup in Russia and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and seek its first win in 28 years at this year's event in its own country.
"Cain's presence in the national team will help as well," Klinsmann said. "He has adapted very well for Bayern Munich and has become one of the most loved players in Germany. The English national team has gained a lot of experience. Now I am ready to achieve it," in supporting England to the end.
