STRENGTH FOR THE TANK: Can Hungary’s defense hold off Germany?

The German team got off to an impressive start at EURO 2024, defeating Scotland 5-1.

In this match, coach Julian Nagelsmann’s students surprised everyone with their effective way of controlling the attack. But objectively speaking, Germany’s opponents in the opening match made quite a few mistakes and this helped the home team play more comfortably.

In such an easy match, it is understandable that the “Tank” hit the opponent’s net with 5 goals.

But in the upcoming match, coach Julian Nagelsmann and his team will definitely not play so easily because they will have to clash with Hungary. This is the team that lost in their opening match and now their goal will be nothing more than 3 points to keep their hopes of moving on.

If considering past achievements or personnel quality, the German team is completely superior to Hungary.

But in the last 3 meetings, Germany could not win against Hungary, drawing 2 and losing 1 against this opponent. Under the hands of coach Marco Rossi, Hungary is a team that plays very effective counter-attack defense and this way of playing has somehow countered Germany.

In the next match, the success or failure of the German team will probably depend heavily on the midfield.

If you control the midfield well, “Tank” will easily impose an attacking style of play on the opponent, while avoiding quick counterattacks. But theory and reality are two different stories. Furthermore, Hungary is very thirsty for points right now and it will be difficult to predict anything.

The duel in the 1954 World Cup final when Germany was crowned world champion for the first time with a 3-2 victory was an unforgettable milestone.
