Germany will face France at the start of the European Championship – and after days of waiting, they can finally intervene in the tournament themselves. On Tuesday evening, the DFB team will play against the reigning world champion in the Munich Allianz Arena. Right from the start, it is a real acid test for Manuel Neuer, Thomas Müller & Co. – perhaps even the greatest possible, because the strong French are the top favorites to win the title.

Does Löw rely on Kai Havertz as in training or on Leroy Sané? Does Joshua Kimmich play in midfield or right back – like in the 7-1 win against Latvia? That remains to be seen. Either way, the opening game will be a hint for the EM – no more, but also no less. “You can’t see it in black or white,” said Manzke. “If you win, Germany is not suddenly the favorite. On the other hand, a defeat puts the team under pressure – because the next opponent is European champions Portugal.” The Portuguese make a stop in Munich on June 19, the last DFB opponent in the tricky group F are the Hungarians.
