• Almost there, but Germany still managed to pull points from Switzerland in the end
Which made 3 matches collect 7 points and sail into the next round as group champions
And here are many things that can be seen from the first round, the last match of Group A, Euro 2024, this match.
Not even one
As we all know, Germany have secured their first place in the last 16 of Euro 2024. Thanks to their impressive performance in the 5-1 rout of Scotland. Which was followed by a 2-0 win over Hungary.
They have already advanced, the only thing left to do is whether Julian Nagelsmann’s Iron Eagles can win the group.
Which is probably the reason why Naglesman cN didn’t change the starting 11 at all not even one point. Even a single point Even a single point Even a single pointEven a single point
Manuel Neuer is the goalkeeper, the center back pair is Jonathan Tah and Antonio Rudiger, the left and right backs use Maximilian Mittelstadt – Joshua Kimmich. In the middle there is Toni Kroos as the ball distributor, paired with Robert Andrich as the defensive player. While the offensive game has Florian Wirtz, Ilkay Gundogan (team captain) and Jamal Musiala running behind the target striker Kai Havertz.
In fact, if the Bundesliga trainer chooses to adjust 3-4-5 points, it wouldn’t be too bad. Such as giving Marc-Andre ter Stegen a chance to stretch his legs in goal, or dropping Nico Schlotterbeck into the back line, resting key players like Toni Kroos in the middle to wait for the next round (Pascal Gross or Emre Can could be substituted), or adjusting the attacking game to send Thomas Müller or Niklas Fullkrug into the starting line-up. It all looks like Germany’s standards shouldn’t have deviated from before in any way.
But when the starting 11 is the same as before, it means that Nagelsmann is still focused on the game and wants to win today to secure the ยูฟ่าเบท group championship.
1-0 who didn’t come
Almost following the first game (10th minute) and the second game (22nd minute) today, where Robert Andrich scored in the 16th minute.
In fact, the ball from the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder’s foot was not that strong. But it happened to bounce off the ground at the right angle. Yann Sommer made a small mistake by failing to block it. Causing the ball to hit the post and go in.
But before the Eagles fans could celebrate loudly. They were stopped by Italian referee Daniele Orsato walking off the field to check the VAR screen.
And it was over… 1-0 was taken away when Orsato judged Jamal Musiala’s clash with a Swiss defender before the ball reached Andrich was a foul.
Although from another perspective, it can be seen that Musiala’s tackle happened after the opponent had cleared the ball, but when the referee assessed that he was involved in the goal, the decision must be accepted.
The irony is that when we don’t get a goal. We concede a goal.
Switzerland took a 1-0 lead over Germany in the 30th minute.
VAR is repeatedly annoying
It was very interesting to see Dan Ndoi’s charge in and give Switzerland the lead in the 28th minute.
Because from the slow motion, the ball was opened by Remo Freuler on the left side. “It looks like” the 23-year-old striker from Bologna has some overlap with the last German defender.
It took almost five minutes for fans to realize that the play was not offside.
When VAR simulations showed Antonio Rudiger’s stretching attempt to clear a cross from Freuler ended up with Rudiger’s foot just out of reach of Dan Ndoi for a split second.
It’s 1-0 without offside.
