Bayer Leverkusen players Robert Andrich and Jonathan Tah are looking forward to winning the 2024 European Championships with Germany, Soccernet.football understands.
Andrich and Tah enjoyed a remarkable season with Bayer Leverkusen, ending Bayern Munich’s eleven year dominance in the Bundesliga and remaining unbeaten throughout the domestic campaign.
Leverkusen fell short in the Europa League final against Atalanta, suffering their only loss of the entire season before going on to complete the domestic double with a 1-0 victory over Kaiserslautern in the DFB-POKAL final at Berlin’s Olympic stadium.
The Leverkusen duo will be representing Germany at the 2024 European Championships and they have expressed a “greed and hunger” for further success this year.
As per Reuters, Andrich is eager for a return to Berlin’s Olympic stadium, where the Euro 2024 final will be held on July 14, for the chance to secure more silverware.
“We have this greed, the hunger for another title,” the midfielder said. “I think that [German Cup final] was very special for me – the Olympic stadium, training there, playing the final. These are special moments, more special than in other matches.
“You cannot buy these memories and this gives you a boost to play there again.”
Tah, in agreement added; “I would say the double win definitely puts wind in your sails. With a lot of greed, we want to keep being successful and play the entire year successfully.
“After a few days, our batteries will again be fully loaded. We are looking forward to the tournament, which is special for all of us, so the batteries kind of charge themselves because of that.”
Germany will commence their Euro 2024 campaign on June 14 against Scotland and they will be looking to perform much better than they have in recent international tournaments. The Germans will also square up against Hungary and Switzerland in Group A.
