Eliminated From Euro 2020, Joachim Low: Germany Will Be More Mature And Savage In 2024
JAKARTA - Joachim Low believes the players who are in the current Germany national team squad will reach the peak of their performance when appearing in Euro 2024.
Germany had to stop in the round of 16 of Euro 2020 after being defeated by England 0-2 at Wembley, London, Tuesday local time.
The defeat was also a farewell match for Low, who will withdraw from the German national team after Euro 2020 and be replaced by his former assistant, Hansi Flick.
"Some of the players in this squad will reach their peak at Euro 2024," Low said after the match.
"They will be more mature, experienced and savage," he added.
Germany will host Euro 2024 with 10 cities including for the first time Leipzig, which is a former East German territory.
Low could not hide his disappointment because Germany's steps were stopped in the round of 16.
In general Low feels that his team's failure to take advantage of some good chances was the reason for Germany's return.
Timo Werner found his shot stopped by goalkeeper Jordan Pickford in the first half, while Thomas Mueller came close to equalizing after Raheem Sterling's goal failed to beat the Everton keeper in a one-on-one situation.
"It's a big disappointment for all of us. We hope to achieve more in this tournament and the confidence of this team is very high.
"In a game like this it's very important for us to take the slightest chance.
"Timo Werner and Thomas Muller unfortunately missed their chances, of course it doesn't feel good to have to go home," Low concluded.
