Andrich and Tah have ´greed and hunger´ for Germany success after Leverkusen exploits

Robert Andrich and Jonathan Tah highlighted their “greed and hunger for another title”, as the Bayer Leverkusen duo target Euro 2024 glory with Germany.

Tah and Andrich enjoyed a memorable 2023-24 season with Leverkusen, winning the club’s first ever Bundesliga title and the DFB-Pokal, with their only defeat across all competitions coming against Atalanta in the Europa League final.

Xabi Alonso’s side completed the double with victory over Kaiserslautern in the DFB-Pokal final at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium last time out.

Andrich is desperately hoping for a swift return to the same venue, where the Euro 2024 showpiece will be played on June 14, and for further silverware to follow.

“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.”

Team-mate Tah concurred: “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 launch the tournament against Scotland on June 14, while Julian Nagelsmann’s side will also face Hungary and Switzerland in Group A.
