Schweinsteiger and Sedlaczek Joke About Nagelsmann's Post-Match Kiss
Germany secured a dramatic 1-1 draw against Switzerland to win their group at the Euro 2024. Niclas Füllkrug's last-minute equalizer sent the Frankfurt crowd into a frenzy, but the talking point after the match wasn't just the on-field drama.
Nagelsmann Faces the Press
Following the game, head coach Julian Nagelsmann participated in interviews with both MagentaTV and ARD. Michael Ballack, a pundit for MagentaTV, questioned Nagelsmann on the team's tactics, particularly regarding the initial struggles against the Swiss defense. Nagelsmann addressed the concerns openly, highlighting the team's fighting spirit and upcoming challenge in the round of 16.
Füllkrug Savors the Moment
The hero of the night, Niclas Füllkrug, expressed his excitement about playing the next match at his home stadium, Borussia Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park. Meanwhile, Nagelsmann remained focused on the task at hand. Due to the unresolved Group C standings, Germany's opponent for the next round would only be determined later. Potential opponents include England, Denmark, Slovenia, or Serbia.
Schweinsteiger Injects Some Humor
Bastian Schweinsteiger, a pundit for ARD and husband of former tennis star Ana Ivanović, jokingly offered his expertise if Serbia were to be the opponent. This lighthearted moment sparked a discussion about Nagelsmann's post-match celebrations with his girlfriend, Lena Wurzenberger. Their public displays of affection had garnered media attention.
Keeping it Professional
Johannes B. Kerner, Ballack's co-host, chose to steer the conversation back to the game's sporting aspects. Similarly, Schweinsteiger and Esther Sedlaczek, the ARD presenters, acknowledged the public's interest in the kiss but maintained a focus on football.
A Touching Moment Captured
Despite the media frenzy, Nagelsmann found his girlfriend Lena waiting for him in a stadium corridor. Her attempt to shield herself from photographers proved futile, but the couple undoubtedly cherished their private moment after Germany's group stage victory.
