What did Germany lack that failed at the World Cup in Qatar? It’s hard to be certain, there are no crystal balls to know, but what is clear is that with Florian Wirtz in the squad another chicken crows.
He missed his first World Cup in 2020 due to a serious knee injury and with a built-in desire he entered the Euro Cup through the door of none other than his entire country. Wirtz was speaking the whole time and it was no accident. A key man at Bayer Leverkusen, it took him just 10 minutes to make Euro Cup history and put Germany ahead against Scotland with a shot from outside the area that gave his team wings.
It will be on the grass of the Allianz Arena, where they will surely do everything to have it. His finesse and clairvoyance is what is missing in another great player like Jamal Musiala to lead the next German generation to success. They, under the watchful eye of current leaders Toni Kroos and Ilkay Gündogan, showed all their arsenal to eliminate Scotland and put to rest the few doubts that remained about Germany in this Euro.
It sure has been a long summer for Bayer Leverkusen. It has only just begun, but the showcase for Wirtz is huge and will be more than just games and performances like the inauguration. The siren songs about Real Madrid and Barça have been heard, but there is more to add to them. The only consolation for Xabi Alonso is that this will involve pulling the money lever for Leverkusen, who will fight not to lose Wirtz, who they want to keep for a year. This goose that lays golden eggs is only 21 years old. A real outrage.
