Analysis of the football national team players in isolation - Criticism targeted towards the nation's football squad
In a World Cup qualifier played in Cologne, Germany faced a challenging match against their opponents. The game started with a relaxed atmosphere as Germany scored the opening goal through a brilliant free-kick by Wirtz, assisted by Raum, following a free-kick won by Nadiem Amiri.
However, the game was not without its share of controversies. Raum's assist for the 2:1 made up for several unfortunate actions, but his goal in added time of the first half was ruled offside. Rüdiger, on the other hand, had a disappointing performance, making many mistakes and displaying poor positional play. Consequently, he was suspended for the match against Luxembourg due to receiving a second yellow card.
Gnabry scored his first DFB goal in two and a half years, but his impact was short-lived as he let Price run past him at the equalizer, which marked a turning point in the game. Despite this, Goretzka's substitution allowed him to play more defensively, which improved his game.
On the wings, Leweling set the pace with his runs, potentially offering a solution to Nagelsmann's personnel needs there. On the other hand, Woltemade's performance was insufficient, despite a noticeable improvement in body language and connection to the game compared to his performance in Bratislava.
In defence, Koch started the game well but could not build on his good form in the DFB jersey in June. Anton, a Dortmund player, struggled for stability as a central defender. However, Beier, substituted in for Füllkrug, was a super sub, scoring the winning goal in the final phase.
Baumann provided many instructions from the back but remained unheard by his forwards for a long time. Gross, the Dortmund player, initially brought calm and order to the game but subsequently made mistakes. Kimmich played many opening passes, and his leadership will be crucial for the World Cup.
Amiri, the Mainz player, brought momentum to the game after his substitution and celebrated his debut goal euphorically. Despite the mixed performance, the game has put Germany's national football team under scrutiny, with many questioning their form and strategy.
