+++ UPDATE +++
Miyagi - The DFB-Elf has not really got going at the Olympics * in Japan.
In the first game against Brazil, Stefan Kuntz's team had no chance in parts, in the second game Kruse and Co. prevented a debacle against Saudi Arabia.
Nevertheless, there are still all chances of advancing - with a win against Ivory Coast, Germany is sure to reach the quarter-finals.
A draw could be enough if Brazil loses against Saudi Arabia at the same time.
But because that is almost impossible, Kuntz doesn't even have to calculate big.
“We know exactly what we need to achieve.
If we win, we'll be through, ”said the European champions from 1996. Because even a few spectators are allowed 400 kilometers north of Tokyo, the Miyagi Stadium could finally have a bit of an Olympic flair.
Olympia: Germany - Ivory Coast in the live ticker - personal puzzle for Kuntz
The personal puzzle is more difficult for Kuntz, after the red card against Amos Pieper, he has only 14 field players available.
Most recently, goalkeeper Svend Brodersen had even made himself ready for a field job.
Ex-national player Matthias Sammer was reminded of the European Championship in 1996. “Oliver Kahn * also got a number on his shirt.
You can see that you can win a title with fewer players, ”said the Amazon expert.
The task will not be easy.
The Ivorians with their stars Franck Kessie (AC Milan) and Eric Bailly (Manchester United) are still unbeaten after their appearances against Saudi Arabia (2: 1) and Brazil (0: 0).
“You have your strengths in the center, especially through Franck Kessie.
We also have to watch out for the fast outside players, ”said Keven Schlotterbeck from SC Freiburg.
The weather is still a little worrying.
Although the much-discussed typhoon avoids Tokyo, the storm is now heading towards Miyagi, among other things.
Even postponing the game was briefly discussed.
"If something should happen, we will react correctly," said Kuntz.
He stays calm.
At least until the kick-off.
