Germany does not leave good feelings a few days after hosting the Euro Cup and it showed in a dull draw against Ukraine, a more complicated opponent than it might look for (0-0).
The former is no longer entirely favorable for the climate of the German team because of a survey with very alarming results and pointed to players with origins that are not only German. Nagelsmann responded by starting Gündogan, who was appointed directly, and wore the captain’s armband in a match that was also notable for marking Manuel Neuer’s return to the pitch with Germany, something that had not happened since the World Cup in Qatar, when he was injured for skiing
The hostess did not leave many things. They were joined by Musiala, Kimmich, Wirtz and Havertz, players who were completely unquestionable but also didn’t have their best day. All of them, except for the Bayern Munich full-back, were replaced and had a bad taste in their mouths. Of course, Antonio Rüdiger and Toni Kroos are expected to join the camp after winning the Champions League with Real Madrid.
In terms of football, Germany had full control of the match with 62% of the possession and, despite shooting up to 18 times, they were unable to penetrate the Ukrainian goal, which was defended by Trubin. And the goalkeeper from Ukraine was the absolute star of the match as he made up to 5 remarkable saves.
Neuer, on the other hand, didn’t have much to do and handled it well, especially a powerful shot from Yaremchuk. It has been said all this time that Germany’s problem seems to be the goal and yesterday it was confirmed
