Here's the reworded version: Music Festival Cancelled Due to Storm - Journalists should also stand behind the DFB squad.

Lothar Matthäus, a renowned German football player with numerous records, expressed his thoughts about the upcoming European Championship in his column for Sky. He believes that the media should play a supportive role towards the DFB team rather than creating a negative atmosphere. Matthäus noted that in other countries, journalists and experts support their teams, even when negative stories emerge.

The 63-year-old football pro also addressed the ongoing debate about Germany's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who made a mistake in a recent match against Greece. Matthäus mentioned that whilst criticism is understandable, it's essential to praise Neuer for his saves against the Greeks as well. German media, according to Matthäus, often focuses on the negative side of things. He himself had criticized Neuer but eventually decided that it needed to stop.

Matthäus also remarked on the significant improvement in the performance of the DFB team compared to the World Cup in Qatar, where, in his opinion, no points were made despite the team's efforts. He appreciated Nagelsmann and Rudi Völler's recent efforts to improve the team's performance.

The DFB team will begin their campaign in the European Championship against Scotland in Munich this Friday, and Matthäus emphasized the need to avoid the same performance issues that faced the team in Qatar. Let's hope for a successful tournament for the DFB team.
