Introduce young players to the break in of the football team faster than it has provided for Löw? The game against Russia is likely to some of the Established bring to Ponder.

No, Thomas Müller, no Mats Hummels. Toni Kroos due to break not, Jerome Boateng is not nominated before and Sami Khedira anyway since the world Cup, the outer face of the German national team was in the test game against Russia is quite different, as we saw it with most of the other countries of the 2018 games in the “plague year”. What is the game way – at least in the better first half, but also, if you look at the protagonists on the court.

While many of the last countries, rather than in the wide and slow-played games, this time it was steep again, quickly, and directly to the front. A Prime example of hit to 3:0-the final score was: Kai Havertz fit the leather cord straight through the gaps in the Russian defence towards the penalty area, Serge Gnabry was already launched and sank the Ball with a direct shot.

“Kids bar” the front – “senior combo” in the back

Havertz (19 years old) and Gnabry (23) formed together with Leroy Sané (22) and Timo Werner (22), the Department of attack. From the defensive midfield and on the Outside they were supported by the 23-year-old Joshua Kimmich and the 22-year-old Thilo Kehrer. Only in the defense of a “senior combo” with Niklas Süle (23), Matthias Ginter (24), Antonio Rüdiger (25), and “grandpa” Jonas Hector (28!) the average Age is a little bit lifted. The biblical age of the captain and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer we keep secret for reasons of respect.

Now it’s up and running: At the world Cup, is Leroy Sané, one of the players that are in the future, as set out in the DFB-Team

Even if opponents of Russia was due to some of the missing stem forces this evening in Leipzig is more of a weaker opponent, so the tapered side has given a clear indication of how the Team could basically now – successful and attractive to play. But at least you could see what Formation it is in the not too distant future, probably will play.

Especially Havertz made a positive impact on attention, created with his Playing in the top for “Özil-moments” and also impressed the national coach. “His development is good. He is for his age very far,” said Joachim Löw. “When you saw the third goal, then this is a good quality. For 19 he is already extremely well. I can well imagine that he can play in the next few years, a key role.”

Some of the changes against the Netherlands

Of course there will be fluctuations in performance. And, of course, still the air is in some Places upwards. Havertz could gain in muscle mass and defensively stable. Julian Brandt could learn to develop more self-confidence and coping self-complete, instead of playing hopeless passes in the middle. Also Gnabry and Sané does not make everything right.

Löw will change his statement, therefore, in the Nations Cup game against the Netherlands on Monday evening, certainly. Toni Kroos, Marco Reus, if he is fit again. Havertz, Gnabry and Kehrer, maybe Werner are the string candidates. Julian Draxler, who was not against Russia due to a bereavement in the family could find, however, first on the bench again. There is probably also Müller will be sitting in again – at least, it would be no Surprise.

Uncertain future for the “Old”

Although Löw has underlined again and again that a break in the national team’s time of need, but could it be that the young DFB-players to accelerate the pace of change. The Team’s remaining world Cup Champions of 2014 have to Worry about their future in the national team.

What will become of us? Thomas Müller (2.v.l.) and Mats Hummels (l.) to worry

Because only the fact that they were once indispensable, should not guarantee, Muller, Hummels, Boateng and co. no place in the current Elf, if your current services are. In contrast, Routine and experience are things that the Established can grow, and also the national coach does not seem willing to turn all of a sudden everything in the DFB-Team on the left.

“In the second half we had the pace, the room layout, as well as the depth and width in our game,” said Löw. “You must be the young players.” At least from this statement, the “Old” could read that it needs one or the other more experienced players, and hope that your services are in the national team is still completely superfluous. For a time at least.
