First, the offensive midfield:
1, Royce (Dortmund)
26 games this season: 12 goals and 6 assists.
Royce is the core of the German national team's frontcourt attack, and its performance has been very stable in recent years. In last year's six European preliminaries, Royce scored 3 goals and sent 2 assists. However, I really hope that Royce can get rid of the injury. After all, he should not want to miss the World Series again because of injury.
2. Brandt (Dortmund)
34 games this season: 7 goals and 9 assists.
Fabwell's transformation of Brandt can be said to be subversive: Brandt's winger position has been moving backwards, and even appeared in the back of the waist in some games. But in the national team, he still plays more on the sidelines and shadows. Brandt's technology is very comprehensive. He not only has excellent dribbling and passing skills, but also can make the ball and create opportunities for his teammates. At the same time, his long-range shot is also very accurate. After all, it is the 10 of the national team, and Brent has a very bright future.
PS: In last night's Ruhr Derby, Brand's performance was full of brilliance. Especially the heel of the first ball, which perfectly shows the ball-making ability mentioned above, is really excellent.
3. Greca (Bayern Munich)
23 games this season: 5 goals and 5 assists.
In fact, Greca's best games this season are played in the position of 10, and his defensive ability is excellent besides attacking, which makes him more like a B2B midfielder. Magnetic cards can often catch up quickly and push the ball to the frontcourt after stealing, which is very difficult for a player who is close to 190. If we can strengthen the ability of confrontation and defense, then Greca will be a better midfielder.
4. Kay Havertz (Leverkusen)
34 games this season: 10 scored 8 assists.
Havertz has become a hot future star in the Bundesliga in recent seasons, and he has also become a frequent visitor to the national team with such performance. Havertz is a bit like a free agent in the frontcourt at the club, and can be competent for wingers, wingers, attacking midfielders and other positions. In terms of technical style, he has excellent footwork skills, not only can lead people skillfully, but also his shooting skills are very comprehensive; At the same time, Havertz also has a good passing vision and can sort out the team's attack well.
Second, the lower back:
5. Kimich (Bayern Munich)
36 games this season: 4 goals and 6 assists; The league averaged 1.5 steals, 0.8 intercepts and 0.6 clears.
Kigo, who returned to midfield this season, showed world-class standards. Kimmich's average running distance this season is as high as 12.6 kilometers, which has the ability to cover the whole field; At the same time, kimmich's passing success rate has reached 90%, which is very steady. With such comprehensive attributes and strong spirit, perhaps Kim Mickey is the best candidate for the next captain of the national team.
6. Cross (Real Madrid)
32 games this season: 5 goals and 8 assists.
Hiro can be said to be the absolute core of this German national team midfielder. As a technical midfielder, Cross has master ball control and passing ability. Cross is one of the best organized midfielders in the world football in recent seasons, whether it is a kick in the counterattack, a threatening ball in the positional warfare attack, or a symbolic free kick and a long shot of the putter.
7. Gondogan (Manchester City)
40 games this season: 5 goals and 4 assists; The league averaged 0.8 steals, 1.2 interceptions and 0.3 clearance.
Despite his tepid performance in Manchester City, Gundogan is still an indispensable member of the national team. The advantage of Gundogan is that the long and short passes are very stable and accurate, and the cooperation with teammates in a small range is also very spiritual; At the same time, his back attack and long-range shot outside the restricted area are also very threatening. Just because of the contrast between Braun of Manchester City and Germany, Mr. Guo seems a bit "average".
8. Zelda (Schalke 04)
2 1 game this season: 7 goals and 0 assists; The league averaged 2.8 steals, 1.2 interceptions and 0.4 clearance.
Zelda has exploded this season and is the team's top scorer so far. At the same time, Zelda, who is in charge of the midfield, has not only greatly improved on the defensive end, but also made more contributions on the offensive end. He can always insert and appear in key positions. Loew first recruited Zelda in last year's European preliminaries and grabbed a future star from Turkey. If this state is maintained, Zelda also has a good chance to appear in the European Cup squad next year.
9. Arnold (Wolfsburg)
35 games this season: 4 goals and 8 assists; The league averaged 1 steals, 0.8 interceptions and 1.2 clearance.
When it comes to Arnold, the author is always at a loss. Arnold is a typical player whose strength is greater than his fame. At the beginning of his career, Arnold played an offensive midfielder, but his performance became stronger after he transformed into a midfielder. On the offensive end, Arnold can not only run and grab, but also insert a shot with one foot; On the defensive end, his super running ability allows him to complete the coverage of the whole court. With such an unusually strong spiritual attribute and fighting spirit, Arnold should have a place in the German national team, but Loew seems not interested in this type of player.
10, emre Canal (Dortmund)
16 games this season: 1 goal and 0 assists; The Bundesliga averaged 2.4 steals, 1.8 interceptions and 0.2 clearance.
After coming to Dortmund, Zhan was fixed in the position of defensive midfielder and central defender and performed very well. Zhan has a strong hardness on the defensive end, and he is decisive in both stealing and intercepting. At the same time, he is good at running, and his abundant physical fitness also keeps him energetic in the position of the lower back. Although the "Juventus version" of Zhan is unlucky, the "Dortmund version" of Zhan is absolutely world-class.
Notable: Dem (Naples), amiri (Leverkusen), Rudy (Hoffenheim), Neuhaus (M? nchengladbach) and Bildt (Berlin United).
Germany is still very talented in midfield and has a reasonable age structure. At the same time, Croce, Royce, Kimmick and other players are completely world-class, and they will also be the key figures of how far Germany can go in the next competition.
PS: I personally appreciate Dem and Arnold. They are all defensive midfielders, with low-key style, diligence and strong coverage and sweeping ability. The most important thing is to play with great wisdom. But unfortunately, they are not Loew's type.
Retrospect of the German national team in the past;
"Inventory" the tradition of door gods! Who will be the top five goalkeepers in Germany and the starting goalkeeper in the European Cup?
