Germany 6: 0. Winning ᐉ UA-Football

What was it? The splendid victory of Spain or the humiliating defeat of Germany? In football in the Covid-19 era, we’ve seen a lot of amazing debacles, and this game will only add to that list. This result is surprising if only because Germany have not lost by six goals since 1931, then losing 0: 6 to Austria. The current result is the biggest defeat of the German team in an official match in its history.

Germany led the pack after beating Ukraine in the last round, but the local press held back in their assessments. “The level of this team can be seen in the game against a strong rival.” Good. As they say, “they saw.” Spain was far ahead of Germany and could have scored double-digit goals, but regretted Lev’s team with “only” six goals.

You can talk a lot about personnel problems in the defense line of the German team. PSV full-back Philip Max played the third straight game in seven days, and had never been called up for the national team before. Ginter on the other flank is a nominal center-back, and he is also capable of not playing at a good level two games out of his position. Süle is unstable after his serious injury, Koch is still inexperienced. The weakened attack by the Ukrainian team created enough chances against these four, and Spain just tore it apart.

However, this defeat is primarily training. What was Germany going to play? Spain showed that real pressure was against imitation, cutting the Sane – Werner – Gnabry trinity off the ball entirely. Germany had absolutely no access to attack, but defensive errors occurred not only during the opponent’s positional attack, but also after set pieces. For example, why did Gnabry play Morata (the best with Ramos in Spain’s header) when taking a corner? Then the first goal was scored. The second goal did not end with Olmo, but his head hit the crossbar, and Ferran Torres was in the goal.

The third goal, like the first, was scored after a corner kick. This time Gundogan mimicked a fight against Rodri, then simply allowed the City midfielder to steer the ball towards goal.

3: 0 after the first half. And there was also the uncounted goal of Morata after an offside position (possibly by mistake), moments of Torres, Olmo. And the injury to Ramos – the defender of “Real” out of nowhere grabbed the back of the thigh and was immediately replaced.

At halftime, Lev reverted to his favorite post-World Cup 2018 scheme with three defenders, and Germany played even worse. The fourth goal is a fantastic Spanish counterattack with Fabián Ruiz, Gaia and Ferran Torres. Bastian Schweinsteiger, commenting on the national team’s matches for German television, could no longer find words, and Spain played the fifth match: an assist from Fabián Ruiz and a hat-trick from Ferran Torres.

There were still twenty minutes to play, and Spain did not deny itself the pleasure of scoring the sixth goal against Manuel Neuer. This time Oyarsabal scored.

6: 0. Great misfortune for Germany, great victory for Spain.
