We already know the full squad of the German National Football Team which is like this:
Goalkeepers: Oliver Baumann (TSG Hoffenheim), Alexander Nübel (VfB Stuttgart), Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich), Marc-André ter Stegen (Barcelona)
Defenders: Waldemar Anton (VfB Stuttgart), Benjamin Henrichs (RB Leipzig), Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich), Robin Koch (Eintracht Frankfurt), Maximilian Mittelstädt (VfB Stuttgart), David Raum (RB Leipzig), Antonio Rüdiger (Real Madrid), Nico Schlotterbeck (Borussia Dortmund), Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen)
Midfielders: Robert Andrich (Bayer Leverkusen), Chris Führich (VfB Stuttgart), Pascal Groß (Brighton & Hove Albion), Ilkay Gündogan (Barcelona), Toni Kroos (Real Madrid), Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich), Aleksandar Pavlovic (Bayern Munich), Leroy Sané (Bayern Munich), Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen)
Forwards: Maximilian Beier (TSG Hoffenheim), Niclas Füllkrug (Borussia Dortmund), Kai Havertz (Arsenal), Thomas Müller (Bayern Munich), Deniz Undav (VfB Stuttgart)
And what do we think about it? Well, even though it has a lot of very experienced players, I think Germans don’t have enough perfectly performing players right now. Many of the players are either on their sundown or not the tier-A team members. The attacking line is not the best, even though Kai Havertz had a decent season, and Thomas Müller who has been a reliable player for years, I doubt with their abilities to be scoring enough. Maybe, Denis Undav is going to surprise us, but hard to believe he can score through some serious defensive lines that Germans are going to meet in this year’s UEFA Euro.
Midfield is full of Bundesliga players, who are good, however most of them lack international experience for this season. Toni Kroos, the legend will play the last of his tournaments and definitely should add some stability and reliability to the team. On his side, the talented Jamal Musiala is expected a lot out of him. Ilkay Gündogan one of the most experienced players should be one of the key linners in the mid.
In my opinion, the defenders’ line looks the best. It has the talent, experience, and energy to keep Germany’s goal safe.
However, this is not the team that we could expect medals out of it. It lacks some of the ingredients to make it to the top. Even though, bookmakers believe it’s a top 3 team, I don’t see Germany beating France, England, or even Portugal this year.
