The next tournament debacle is looming at the European Championships: Julian Nagelsmann and the German national team said goodbye to the long international break with an alarming feeling of frustration. Seven months before the opening game, the DFB team lost 2-0 against Austria in Vienna on Tuesday and is carrying a huge mortgage into the tournament year. Bayern star Leroy Sané hit opponent Phillipp Mwene in the face at the start of the second half and may miss the entire European Championship preparation due to a red card.
Dortmund professional Marcel Sabitzer (29th) took the lead in front of 46,000 spectators. RB Leipzig’s Christoph Baumgartner (73′) decided the game. After Sané’s freak out (49th), Nagelsmann tried several substitutions, none of which helped. There have never been two autumn defeats at the end of the year before a European Championship or World Cup – the DFB selection will not have a chance to make amends until March at the earliest.
On Saturday, Germany had already suffered a 2-3 defeat against Turkey in Berlin. In total, there were only three wins in ten test matches this year.
