German U-17 Coach Ambitious To Marry FIFA U-17 World Cup And European Cup U-17

Germany U-17 wants to marry the FIFA U-17 World Cup and Euro U-17 (doc. LOC WCU17) titles.

JAKARTA - Germany's U-17 coach, Christian Wuck, managed to ensure his team won tickets to the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2023 final. This condition apparently further aroused Wuck's ambition to marry two titles this year, namely the U-17 World Cup and the U-17 European Cup.

Germany U-17 stepped into the final after defeating Argentina's U-17 fierce resistance at Manahan Stadium, Solo, on Tuesday, November 28, 2023.

Had played series 3-3 in normal time, Der Panzer qualified after winning on penalties with a score of 4-2.

Kelolosan ke final membuka peluang Jerman U-17 untuk mengindwinkan dua gelar juara pada tahun ini. Pasanya, mereka lolos ke FIFA U-17 World Cup 2023 dengan status sebagai kapiun Piala Eropa U-17 2023.

"Of course we would be very happy if we could win these two championships. Of course our goal is to come here to win."

"Whoever the opponent is in the final later, we hope to win," Christian Wuck said in a statement quoted Wednesday, November 29, 2023.

So far, we have never tasted defeat from the start match to the semifinals. I am sure the players are very well prepared to be able to win the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2023," said the coach.

Regarding the success of qualifying for the final round, Wuck also did not turn a blind eye to the struggle of his team. The coach admitted that the team worked hard.

The players also appeared with courage to change their style of play in the second half.

If pulled back, it can be seen that the German U-17 defense tends to loosen when control of the game is taken over by Claudio Echeverri and his friends.

"It's amazing, I'm also happy for the players, especially they didn't perform well throughout the first half. We scored through a counter-attack and then responded," he said.

"We don't do tackles and Argentine U-17 players are able to develop their game."

"This is clearly something we don't want. We then showed our real strength in the second half," Wuck said.

We defended tough and much more aggressively than the opposing players. That's why I feel proud because players change their game, dare, and realize that there is an opportunity to achieve success here," he said.

In the final round of the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2023, Germany U-17 will face France U-17 who qualified after defeating Mali U-17. This top party will take place at Manahan Stadium, Solo, on Saturday, December 2, 2023, at 19.00 WIB.
