Results Switzerland vs Germany today 7/9 Nations League 2020/21

Goal: Widmer (57) – Gundogan (14)

Although they are two neighboring countries, Switzerland and Germany have little chance of meeting in the countryside. Before the 2020/21 UEFA Nations League, the last time the two teams met was in a friendly in 2012 and the team from the clock country won by surprise 5-3. Also in official tournaments, time must be delayed 54 years: the group stage of the 1996 World Cup when “Immortal Emperor” Franz Beckenbauer and his teammates won 5-0.

Switzerland vs Germany

However, Swiss and German players are no strangers. Most of the Swiss players are mature from the German football environment. For example, on 10/23 the coach Vladimir Petkovic called for this round that currently plays in the Bundesliga, equal to the number of players who play in the country of Germany. Even in the 1-2 loss to Ukraine 2 days ago, there were 7/11 spots on Switzerland’s starting list currently in the Bundesliga.

That does not mean that Switzerland is a copy of Germany. The gameplay of this team over the years still has its own color. It is based on Balkan-born players who possess skilled technical skills. With coach Vladimir Petkovic (a Bosnian on the Balkan Peninsula), Switzerland is really a nasty name for the big boys.

Germany vs Switzerland start list

Each of them reached the 1/8 round of Euro 2016 and World Cup 2018 thanks to Albanian brains like Xherdan Shaqiri, Granit Xhaka. But because it depends on some individuals, the system in the Swiss game is not really good.

Unlike Switzerland, Germany is not overly reliant on good people, although German football has never been short of outstanding talent. Joachim Loew’s team continues to kick Spain in the opening match of the 2020/21 UEFA Nations League despite a lack of players with Bayern Munich. They created 11 chances to eat against Spain, unfortunately they only seized 1 before being unlucky in the last minute.

Joachim Loew still maintains the vision of the UEFA Nations League as a place to train and practice tactics for larger tournaments. That’s why he developed a fairly new 3-5-2 scheme in the match with Spain. To the game against Switzerland, this military leader continues to apply 3-5-2.

Teammates shared their joy with Gundogan after Germany’s first goal

The dynamic wings of Thilo Kehrer (PSG) and Robin Gosens (Atalanta) were maintained after a convincing debut against Spain. It should be remembered that in the design of the three-defense midfield, the two wing positions play a very important role. Exactly compared to the Spain draw, Coach Loew made exactly two adjustments when Arsenal’s Bernd Leno moved into the wood frame for Kevin Trapp and Ginter (Gladbach) replaced Emre Can on defense.

Despite being a guest, the Germans got off to a better start. In the 7th minute, the first opportunity went to Leroy Sane when the star who had just joined Bayern Munich from Man City directed the ball from the wing to the center and then used his right leg to launch a powerful kick, but the goalkeeper Sommer did. master the situation.

Switzerland tried hard but couldn’t find a draw in the first half

And then, just in the 14th minute, Mannschaft opened the scoring. After a failed attempt in the 16m50 area, Ginter pushed the ball into the second row for Gundogan to calm down, the ball did not stretch but was dangerous enough to blow the home team’s net.

Being led the table, the Swiss host rebuilds the team and has a very quick spirit to start implementing the plan to reverse the game. Although it is difficult, but Switzerland has no chance, they just misuse it. For example, in the 26th minute, two players playing in the Bundesliga had a combination when Embolo (Gladbach) poked a favorable spot for Steffen (Wolfsburg), but the No. 11 midfielder failed to beat Leno to the face.

Leroy Sané did not do well in the first half and was substituted shortly after the break

In the 32nd minute, in a quick counterattack, Timo Werner had just landed at Chelsea and reached a level for Draxler (PSG) to finish off a quick touch, but Sommer reacted too well to save the home side. Immediately after that, Seferovic took a long-range shot, lightly brushed past Ginter, and then flew over the crossbar.

In the 42nd minute, still Seferovic (Benfica) escaped from Sule’s mentoring to make a close-up in the Swiss penalty area. Leno gave up but the ball hit the post and went out. Early in the second half, the German team changed their staffing when Brandt replaced Leroy Sane to increase his ability to make the ball.

Switzerland suddenly drew in the forced match at the start of the second half

In addition, the Bayern Munich rookie himself played quite badly, nothing more than the previous draw for Spain. After Brandt was on the field, the German team attacked, transformed, and got stronger. In the 52nd minute, Ginter stretched very well from the right wing for Draxler, but the final shot from the PSG midfielder just missed the post.

However, it seems that in a match like this, the German increase is only a matter of time, then Switzerland suddenly tied in the 57th minute. Captain Xhaka opened the ball down the left wing for Embolo and after a few minutes led deep into the box. From a penalty, the striker pushed slightly down the middle and right-back Widmer launches a perfect left-footed shot to defeat Leno.

Timo Werner, Chelsea’s rookie striker, played the entire game against Switzerland but left no special marks

This is the first goal of a 27-year-old player playing at home (for the Basel club) in the national jersey color after 10 appearances. In the 66th minute, Ginter scored a favorable gap for Brandt, but the Dortmund midfielder was unable to hit the target due to a timely intervention by an opponent.

With good control of the situation after the draw, Switzerland suffered heavy losses when the main forward played from the beginning, Embolo could not continue playing due to injury in the 73rd minute. The effort of the home team is somewhat inferior.

In the end, Germany drew 1-1 for the second straight game in the 2020/21 UEFA Nations League.

However, in the 80th minute if the pitcher ends up in a comfortable position he is not a center-back (Nico Elvedi), it is not known what will happen to Leno. In the 85th minute, the German goalkeeper had to pour his whole body away to ward off the dangerous free kick from his Arsenal teammate, midfielder Xhaka.

In the end, the two teams left the field with a 1-1 draw. Thus, after the first 2 matches of the 2020/21 UEFA Nations League, Germany added 2 points after 2 draws with the same score. Of course, this is not a good achievement, but perhaps what concerns the Germans most is performance and individual play, which in this sense is also satisfactory.
