No credit: In the 24th minute, the Swiss changed again quickly, Xherdan Shaqiri passed the ball to Haris Seferovic, who tried to close a few steps later. The ball passed, but the scene was prototypical for the game: if the Germans did not carry the ball correctly in their strong offense, too often they did not have access to the opponent in the defensive movement.
The result: In the Nations League, Germany and Switzerland were separated 3: 3 (1: 2). Click here to view the match report.
The staff: After continued criticism of his three-man defensive formation against the Swiss, national coach Joachim Löw relied on a back-four in which Niklas Süle found no place and Robin Gosens, who is actually used to a triple back in the club, replaced Marcel Halstenberg as left back. Kai Havertz and Timo Werner joined the team at the front.
The first half: In the fourth minute Shaqiri forced DFB goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to make a brilliant save, the next corner was not cleared enough, so Mario Gavranovic was able to beat Neuer with a head bow lamp – 0: 1 (5th ). In the 26th minute, Remo Freuler Neuer and Antonio Rüdiger could no longer decisively clarify on the line. Werner countered the 0: 2 with a beautiful single action and a shot to the far corner (minute 29). With a deserved 2: 1 for the guests, he went to rest.
The second half: First Havertz hit the post (49th), then, after a solid solo performance, to 2: 2 (55th). Hardly acclaimed, he was sober again: two minutes later, Seferovic missed Neuer twice before Gavranovic chased the ball from the rear area under the crossbar (57th). Serge Gnabry made 3: 3 (60th) with a hoe. A few more chances here, some more worrying turnovers there, so he rocked back and forth. In injury time, the Swiss Fabian Schär saw yellow-red and Rüdiger was lucky that his elbow only received a yellow and not an expulsion on a final free kick.
Tonis 100: Toni Kroos is the twelfth player to have completed a hundred caps for the DFB-Elf. His family in the stands saw numerous ball actions for the jubilee, a dream pass for Werner in the first half, but also a crucial error before the 0-2 when a pass was allowed to the opponent’s feet in the preparation game. .
Top Schwyz: As with the 0: 1 in Spain last Saturday, coach Vladimir Petkovic’s team acted with tactical discipline and had also come up with a few tricks. Offensive players in particular pulled German central defender Antonio Rüdiger off the chain time and time again to shove fast players into free space on their back. However, one should not talk too much about the Swiss, this calendar year they only had one draw plus three losses, against Germany.
Cozy League A Group 4: The hitherto undefeated Spaniards were surprisingly beaten 0-1 (0-0) in the group’s parallel play, which now leads to a welcoming picture: the Spaniards continue to lead with seven points, followed by Germany and Ukraine with six each, the Swiss have two. There are still two games pending for the DFB-Elf: on November 14 against Ukraine and on November 17 in Spain.
Joachim Löw’s vision: “We have a plan, a goal, a vision”: The national coach was fierce before the game, even though he had been feeling bad about his team for months, if not years. It would possibly help the public if I gave them an idea of what this vision is. Against Switzerland, he reinforced the attack by assuming an additional offensive force. This was remarkable. But there was no defensive force. Which one also noticed. A team entanglement in joint offense Y Defensive work seems to have been lost in 2020. Seven goals against Turkey, Ukraine and Switzerland are too many even with eight goals scored.
