The toughest rival in pot 2, Germany, will be the most difficult team that Spain has in the first phase of the World Cup in Qatar. On Sunday, November 27, still without a confirmed schedule or stadium, those of Luis Enrique They will face the Germans on the second day of the group. A powerful rival, four times world champion (1954, 1974, 1990 and 2014), with one of the best coaches of the moment, Hansi Flick, on the bench.
The former Bayern coach, champion of the sextet with the Bavarian team in 2020, relieved Joachim Low after the 2021 European Championship, in which the German team was dropped in the round of 16 and Kroos announced his goodbye. Before that, Germany was beaten 6-0 by Luin Enrique’s men in the group stage of the League of Nations.
At the moment, the results do accompany Flick: eight games won and only one tied in nine games directed. Seven of them, from the qualifying phase for the World Cup, in which he kept a clean sheet five times and was first in his group with enormous sufficiency.
The arrival of Flick has meant a face lift in the Mannschaft, but also the commitment to safe values that had had disappointing recent performances. Muller is once again key for Germany, and in midfield Kimmich and Goretzka they are immovable. They have been joined by Musiala, the young Bayern midfielder. It is one of the appearances with Flick, along with that of Hofmann on the left side and the unwavering commitment to Sané, a footballer who did not have Low’s confidence. Havertz and Werner, Chelsea’s German duo, complete the German attack, with the central defenders Süle and Rudiger and the goalkeeper Neuer as axes of the defense and the goal.
On the board, Flick has maintained what worked so well for him at Bayern, which, after all, is the team that brings the most players to Germany. A 4-2-3-1 marked by his aggressive pressure in the rival field, the game at one-two touches, and the speed when counterattacking. Back, he is conceding less than in Low’s last stage, in which the German team conceded more goals than usual, and up top they have an average of four goals per game and more than twenty shots. Come on, the steamroller Germany of a lifetime, that after the 2014 World Cup He fell apart little by little adding one disappointment after another, such as the elimination in the first phase of the World Cup in Russia and the KO against England in the round of 16 of last year’s European Championship.
