Despite the prospect of facing world champions Germany, the coaches of the three other teams in Group A spoke confidently at the press conference which preceded the opening round of UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship matches in Hungary on Wednesday.
'Total respect'
In their first-ever final tournament, it is hosts Hungary who provide Germany's first opposition in Buk at 19.30CET, two and a half hours after Finland tackle Switzerland in Papa. "Germany are Germany," said Finland coach Jarmo Matikainen. "You can play an even game against them and in the end they win. But I also believe that in every football game you have a chance and that's the beautiful thing about it. You have to have total respect for your opponent but underdogs always have a chance."
