Spain against Germany in the live ticker: Matthäus counts Löw
Update from November 17, 10:44 a.m.:
Tonight, the DFB team in the Nations League in Spain is challenged.
Before the duel, it's once again about the future of national
coach Jogi Löw
.
The 60-year-old is under criticism.
The rumors of a possible successor are picking up speed.
For record national player
Lothar Matthäus it
is already clear who will be the new national coach after the Löw era.
"When you talk about possible candidates, there is only one person that everyone would want in the future, and that is
Jürgen Klopp,
" wrote Matthäus in his Sky column "This is how I see it".
The coach of
Liverpool FC
is “extremely successful, personable and equally popular with fans and the media.” “Yes,” added Matthäus, “he is far from finished in Liverpool and he still has time for the national team in a few years. "
According to Matthäus, the future of Löw depends crucially on the performance of the national team at the European Championships next year.
"Elimination in the preliminary round is equivalent to being eliminated as a national coach."
Spain against Germany in the live ticker: Löw praises Goretzka - but does he make it into the starting line-up?
Update from November 15, 10:25 p.m.:
In the
decisive
final group game of the Nations League against Spain *, national coach Jogi Löw is
spoiled for choice
in midfield.
Leon Goretzka
from FC Bayern was one of the match winners in
the 3-1 win over Ukraine
and prepared the 2-1 lead well worth seeing, the FCB star could possibly find himself on the bench on Tuesday.
"Leon is really in a
very, very good shape
at the moment
,
" Löw told
ZDF
after the game
.
“I am pleased that he is now healthy for a longer period of time.
You can also tell the power and strength.
Really a great game from him ”, so the outstanding judgment of the coach.
But will the 25-year-old
also play in Seville on Tuesday evening in
view of the
competition
?
Against the Spaniards, who are only one point behind the DFB team,
Ilkay Gündogan will
again stabilize the midfield.
The national coach already gave a guarantee for the Manchester City professional.
Toni Kroos
, who
was suspended on Saturday,
will also return, which is why Goretzka could be close with a
starting
XI.
Löw prefers game systems in which two central midfielders usually have space.
For this he relies on the fast offensive forces like Leroy Sané or Serge Gnabry.
