Robertson regrets the defeat Scotland suffered against Germany in their Euro Cup debut

This Friday, Scotland was beaten 5-1 by Germany in the opening of the Euro 2024 Cup. After the match played at the Allianz Arena, in Munich, left-back Andrew Robertson, from Liverpool, lamented the defeat and criticized the team’s performance national in the first stage.

“In the first half we made everything wrong. We didn’t show up, we weren’t aggressive enough. We let good players have the ball”, he told ITV. “They had a game plan, we had ours, and theirs worked a million times better than ours. But it wasn’t because of the game plan, it was because we didn’t do it on the field. When big moments like this come, it’s I need to do this,” he concluded.

FULL TIME: Germany 5-1 Scotland.

Furthermore, Robertson saw an improvement in Scotland in the second half, in which the team had ten players due to the expulsion of Ryan Porteous at the end of the first half. However, the left-back was still dissatisfied with his debut.

“In the second half, down to 10 men, I thought we tried well. We missed a clear goal at the end, but we could have equalized in the second half. But it’s no consolation, we are well supported here. Today was extremely disappointing.”

Scotland takes the field again on Wednesday, at 4pm (Brasília time), against Switzerland, at the RheinEnergieStadion, in Cologne, Germany, in the second round of the Eurocup group stage. Robertson also spoke about the match.

“We have to get it together, we have five days to get it together and play against Switzerland. We will face tomorrow with anger and disappointment, and then on Sunday we will have to be positive and get back to playing,” he concluded.
