It was a tedious way to the elite round of the current EM qualifying for the German U 19. In mid-November, thanks to a 1-1 draw against Greece as a second half behind Russia was the next step towards the final round in Slovakia. Lighter, however, is by no means for the team of coach Wolf.

Stony way to the final round

Because the draw of the Eliterund groups on Wednesday in Non brought two heavy opponents directly to the DFB offspring: In addition to Finland, in Group 5 with Italy and Belgium are two of the largest European football nations. Progress in the final round, which will take place in the coming summer, is truly no sugar poking — especially the group winners reach the tournament in Slovakia, which at the same time serves as a qualification for the upcoming U-20 World Cup 2023 in Indonesia.

Wolf full of anticipation

We were aware that a sophisticated group is coming to us, Wolf considered the draw sober, and added: At the same time we look forward to the games against Belgium, Italy and Finland. There would be exciting days at a high level on his team, because only the group first goes to the EM, says Wolf. The goal is clear for the former coach of the VfB Stuttgart and HSV: We want to do everything together to qualify us. The EM is our great dream!

In addition to the elite round of the current continental competition, the groups for the first qualifying round of the next U-19 European Championship 2023 in Malta were also drawn. In this, the following U-19 vintage is initially against Slovakia, Belarus and Armenia.
