"This wonderful compliment is happy to accept," Günter Netzer smiled several times in the Günter Netzer interview, with 50 years after Germany's first great victory in the Wembley, he was always careful not to "be glorified afterwards".
Around a big milestone in German football history - on the way to the first European champion title in 1972- the legendary playmaker also defended himself decisively against a cross-generational comparison with the 2014 world champions- and their 7-1 half-final victory against Brazil.
"This is really the point where I say: stop, it doesn't have to be," says Netzer. "Outstanding in the 7-1 was not this incredibly great performance, but that the German team stopped scoring goals. Otherwise she would have sent the Brazilians into the abyss until the end of her life. Shame of the century. "
The full interview with Günter Netzer is available in the current Monday edition. Weit stories and details about Germany's first European champion title in 1972 you can read in our eight-part Günter Netzer series for the 50th anniversary-also in the Günter Netzer Emagazine app (Android or Apple).
