Joachim low named his 26 man squad for the upcoming European Championship that is vastly experienced, he has handed international recalls to World Cup winners, Thomas Muller and Mats Hummels, who have not featured in the German squad for more than two years before this competition. Muller and Hummels are two of the veterans from the legendary squad that won the World Cup back in 2014 that have been included in the squad. Other players were dropped after a disappointing 2018 World Cup campaign and an equally terrible Nation’s league campaign later that year.
Drawn in the group of death:-
Germany has been placed in the so-called group of death that features Germany, Portugal, France and Hungary, the Germans will be hoping to prove their disappointing showing at the lady World Cup was a mere blip but going against France, who won the 2018 World Cup and Portugal, who won the 2016 Euro will be a very challenging task for them. The form of Timo Werner, their key striker is also very disappointing, he has not been able to perform in his first season with Chelsea, even though he won the UEFA Champions League title with them. Also, the lack of experience in the squad might be a big hurdle for the team.
Key players:-
Players like Kai Havertz, who scored the winning goal against Manchester City in the Champions League final, Jamal Musiala, the youngster with a great amount of talent and Leroy Sane, who has impressive speed down the flank and Joshua Kimmich, who has been constantly performing for Bayern Munich and has helped them in winning many titles could be a very fatal combination for the German team in this tournament. They also have some experienced players that will provide support to the youngsters such as Toni Kroos, Mats Hummels, Manuel Neuer and Thomas Muller will be a key part of the squad and will provide the depth and pressure handling that is needed to play at the highest level of football.
