After the final whistle, all the German Under-21 players went first to Finn Dahmen.
After all, the goalkeeper of the DFB team in the 1: 1 (0: 0) against the Netherlands in the MS in Szekesfehervar was focused for several reasons. (The game to read on the ticker)
The Mainz 05 pro celebrated his 23rd birthday on the lawn and he won’t soon forget it!
The goalkeeper made a mega mistake before the 0: 1. After a Josha Vagnoman throw-in, the goalkeeper shot over the ball and Leipzig’s Justin Kluivert only had to push towards the empty goal (47th).
Pieper: “We did that for Finni”
However: Due to the equalization of Lukas Nmecha (84th), Germany still have the best chances for the quarter-finals.
“We did that for Finni. I think you saw him after the final whistle. He is an outstanding goalkeeper and has extreme football quality,” said central defender Amos Pieper.
The defender also gave an explanation for the error: “It was extremely unfavorable with the wind. I also had problems with a header or two because the ball was getting longer and longer.”

There was also no criticism from national coach Stefan Kuntz after the blackout. He even gave the goalkeeper a guarantee against Romania in the final preliminary round.
Kuntz gives Dahmen the starting eleven guarantee
“We always said in advance that we want to encourage the guys to try something and not scare them away after a mistake. We won’t do it with Finn either,” explained the coach.
There was a lot of positive news for Dahmen after the match. He received hugs from all the teammates in the circle and was also pressured by Kuntz.
But did one have to pay for the misstep? “Of course, because it’s her birthday. That was already clear,” Pieper said with a laugh.
Kuntz also joked: “We had one night where the players were allowed to drink beer. Two left. So we’re on the wrong track with beer.”
Dahmen gets a cake and a serenade
Instead, there should be a cake and a serenade from the entire team late at night. “The song is going to be as bad as ever,” speculated the technician and laughed.
There were also few reasons for the bad mood.
Now Germany remains the group leader in Group A. The Netherlands already had their backs to the wall after the 1-1 draw against Romania. Now young Elftal is threatened with death.
After Romania beat Hungary 2-1, everything is still open and the DFB youth can still be eliminated despite the four points. (The U21 European Championship tables)
So Germany have a final against Romania and they need a draw.
Kuntz brings Ö then and Jakobs
Following a resounding 3-0 win over Hungary at the start, national coach Stefan Kuntz changed his starting lineup to two positions. Ismail Jakobs and Salih Ö then started by Jonathan Burkardt and David Raum.
That had consequences. First, Kuntz changed formation and started with a 3-5-2 system. (Calendar and results of the European Under-21 Championship)
In addition, the technician made an explosive reunion with his changes.
The CHECK24 double pass with Christoph Daum on Sunday from 11 am on SPORT1 TV
On 12 October 2018, during the German U-20 test against the Netherlands in Meppen (1: 1) after the final whistle, a platoon was formed when the Dutchman Jordan Teze spat in the face of the German captain Salih Öcanes “of the nothing”. “(Özca).
Then it became explosive.
In the uneventful first half, there were only two highlights.
Dani de Wit missed his header from the post by just inches (36º). A little later, Justin Kluivert got up next to the German goal (38th).
Only after the break did the game pick up speed and Dahmen’s wild birthday picked up speed.
After the mistake, Germany put in place the traditional 4-2-3-1 system and rewarded themselves thanks to Nmecha.
The forward presented his birthday present to Dahmen.
