The host of the European Football Championship Germany quietly dreams of the highest positions.

In front of their own fans, the Germans would like to repeat the success of 1972, 1980, and 1996 when they became the kings of the Old Continent.

However, national team coach Julian Nagelsmann warned that the path to the desired goal should be taken step by step.

"Perhaps our team shouldn't make loud statements about planning to become European champions. I think this applies to every participant because otherwise it could harm the players' work quality.

Of course, it's a normal ambition: we would like to win the first place, as in every tournament.

Our fans hope that the team will perform better than in the last few years, especially since we will be playing at home.

Of course, we are a little nervous before the championship, but I think it's normal. If you're nervous, it means you'll be focused, especially for the first game.

In the group stage, we have to achieve a good result," J. Nagelsmann said.

On June 14, the Germans will face the Scotland team, and later they will have matches against Hungary and Switzerland.
