After Germany's 5-1 victory over Scotland in their Euro 2024 match, former Manchester United captain Roy Keane didn't hold back his criticism of the Scottish team. He specifically slammed their captain, Andy Robertson, for his post-match comments about the team's lack of aggression. Keane was baffled by Robertson's statement and called it "rubbish." He emphasized the importance of being aggressive in a game of football, especially when facing a strong opponent like Germany.
Germany's dominant performance in their home stadium, the Allianz Arena in Munich, was a clear statement to their Euro rivals. Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz, Niclas Fullkrug, and Emre Can all scored for Germany, making it their biggest-ever victory in a European Championship match. The German team showed their superiority in every aspect of the game and proved to be a tough opponent for any team in the tournament.
It was a difficult night for Scotland, who are aiming to make it out of the group stage for the first time in their history. Captain Robertson admitted that the team didn't show up in the first half and let Germany's talented players dominate the game. However, he was proud of the team's fighting spirit in the second half, despite being down to 10 men. He acknowledged that they have to improve quickly and bounce back in their upcoming matches against Hungary and Switzerland.
Keane didn't hold back in his criticism of Scotland, stating that they were second best in every aspect of the game. He believed that they lacked competitiveness and were out of their depth against a strong German team. He also pointed out that the team's game plan was not effective and that they should be angry for a long time after such a defeat.
Despite the disappointing result, Scotland's manager, Steve Clarke, still believes that his team can qualify for the knockout stages. He praised Germany's performance and acknowledged that his team couldn't match them. He emphasized the need for a reaction in the upcoming matches and stated that their target is to get four points from the remaining two games.
For Germany, this was the perfect start to their home Euros, and their coach, Julian Nagelsmann, was satisfied with the team's performance. He was particularly impressed with their first 20 minutes, where they dominated the game and scored two quick goals. He also praised Scotland for their defensive tactics but noted that they were surprised by Germany's possession and concentration. He believes that the team can still improve and hopes for a successful tournament on home soil.
