September 03, 2020, 2:18 PM
After a long hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, national teams are returning to the field to start a new Nations League draw. As part of the exit round, Germany and Spain will face off, who are in the same group with Ukraine.
Germany – Spain
Thursday, 3 September, twenty-one:Four. Five… Stuttgart, Mercedes-Benz Arena. Referee – Daniele Orsato (Italy)… Live broadcast on TK Football two.
Germany and Spain are, by default, among the favorites of European and world football, so their face-to-face meeting, especially because of their direct relationship with the Ukrainian team, is of great interest. Of course, under current conditions and due to the end of the season, the teams approach the fight with sub-optimal compositions and conditions, but they have yet to present the public, albeit virtual, with a fascinating show.
Bundestim coach Joachim Loew has decided not to bring many of the Bayern and Leipzig leaders, who participated in the Champions League finals, into the national team. Without Josua Kimmich, Leon Goretzky, Manuel Neuer, Serge Gnabry and a few other injured players, the squad is not that impressive, but rookies and lesser-known players like Atalanta defender Robin Gosens will have a chance to prove themselves.
Luis Enrique did not follow the example of his colleague and called, for example, Bayern midfielder Thiago Alcántara. However, he also missed some important players. Jordi Alba, Isco and Saul did not receive invitations to the national team, Marco Asensio was forced to leave the national team’s camp due to injury, and Mikel Oyarzabal and Adama Traore are absent due to positive coronavirus tests. In such a situation, the young and less stellar Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres, Eric García, Sergio Regilon, Oscar Rodríguez, Unai Simon and Mikel Merino have the opportunity to debut in the red fury.
The last meeting of the teams so far took place in March 2018 in preparation for the World Cup and ended in a 1: 1 draw. In terms of official matches, the last two bouts – in the final of Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup semifinals – ended with minimal victories for the Spanish team. However, since the teams last entered the field more than 10 months ago, it is almost impossible to predict the outcome of this game.
Words before the game:
Joachim Loew, Germany coach: “We are happy that our team is back together and can participate in international matches. The last few months have been difficult for everyone. The coronavirus has put everyone’s lives at risk and we are living through a very strange period. We have to act responsibly, but I’m very happy to be back. ” to work”.
Luis Enrique, coach of Spain: “If we were to play in the Eurocup tomorrow, I would choose the same squad. All the players should step up, even if they are 17-19 or 33 years old. Ansu Fati is at a level that he can work with us.” I would also like to see Adam Traore in the working process. It added a lot, this is a diamond with incredible potential. “
Approximate compositions:
Germany: Leno – Kerer, Zule, Gunther, Gossens – Kroos, Gundogan – Brandt, Haverz, Sane – Werner.
Spain: Arrisabalaga – Navas, Ramos, Llorente, Regilon – Ruiz, Busquets, Thiago – Moreno, Rodrigo, Fati.
