For Ralf Rangnick, a European Championship in Germany not only has the advantage that he knows everything, but also that he can tell a story about every city, every stadium and seemingly every street. Ideally, it is one that he shares with his players, as he did with Konrad Laimer before the opening match against France. “Do you remember Konni, the last time we were here together,” Rangnick began as he entered the Düsseldorf Arena, and Laimer promptly replied: “I scored a goal and provided an assist.”
