Manuel Neuer (goalkeeper):
A 36-year-old likes to be more measured in the heat than young people.
However, the people in front of him did not do him the favor of letting him rest in summery Bologna.
Although Neuer didn't have to hold a lot, he did have to be constantly alert because there was always something in the air that something could happen.
He usually solved this task sovereignly.
It doesn't often happen to him that he slid a ball over the goal line to take a corner for Italy.
Powerless at 0:1.

Benjamin Henrichs (defense), up to the 59th minute:
The man from Leipzig had a good, but not outstanding, season at RB.
For the national coach, he is still an option on the right side of defense – he made it clear repeatedly on Saturday that he will probably not be a permanent solution for the World Cup.
The coordination with his side players worked badly, he let himself be overrun several times.
A factor of uncertainty in the team, to which Flick reacted after an hour by substituting.

Jonas Hofmann (defense), from the 59th minute:
The man from Gladbach, who Flick tried out on the right back last year, had half an hour to apply for this position in the future Avoiding competition on offense.
With some ground-breaking speed advances, he did something for the offensive - and for a good impression.
This also includes the fact that he was involved in the preparation for the 1-1 draw.

Antonio Rüdiger (defense):
The Bald Real pro was repeatedly challenged as a fireman in defense, strong in running into spaces from behind cover, but he didn't win every duel either and let the tricky Italian offensive players get in, duped twice.
Nevertheless, by no means a bad international match.
It's impressive how he's developed over the years.

Niklas Süle (defense):
Had significantly more problems than his central defender colleague.
The future Dortmunder seemed surprisingly inexperienced in the defensive network, but he still had several strong tackles in his own penalty area.
Shortly after the change he left Scamacca unattended, whose header almost made it 1-0.

Thilo Kehrer (defense):
For the tenth time in the tenth Flick game, the PSG defender was in the starting XI, the evergreen under Flick, who would have thought it?
His stability was now noticeable, and he cleared several times in the penultimate minute against Italians who broke through.
However, little came from him in the build-up play.
And when he crossed to concede a goal, he was very easy to outplay.

Joshua Kimmich (midfield):
Kimmich's defensive deficits have been repeatedly discussed this week, which seems to have given him food for thought.
He was definitely more cautious than in the past with his rush forward, but it may also have been due to the fact that the Munich player has not played for the DFB for a long time for known reasons.
An appearance that has been withdrawn for a long time.
And then he had his most striking scene on the offensive: with the goal to 1: 1.

Leon Goretzka (midfield) up to the 69th minute:
This time not as powerful as you've seen him do before.
He was involved in many offensive actions, driving the ball forward, but the decisive pass he missed several times and this time his shots from the edge of the penalty area went very uncontrolled.
After 70 minutes it was over for him.

Ilkay Gündoğan (midfield), from the 69th minute:
He was only ten seconds into the game when Italy made it 1-0.
Something like that is anything but ideal, even if he couldn't help it himself.
After that, however, he immediately took on the German midfield game, which immediately became more compelling than before without him.

Thomas Müller (attack), up to the 70th minute:
It was the 113th international match for the Bayern veteran and he caught up with Philipp Lahm in the DFB rankings in fifth place.
Apart from the statistics, an inconspicuous appearance, as one has to say of many Müller games in the DFB team in recent years.
Tried, as always, to tear gaps.
But he didn't really succeed that much.

Kai Havertz (attack), from the 70th minute:
The Chelsea professional came on for Müller in the last 20 minutes and immediately experienced the most exciting minutes of the game, conceding and scoring, even leading to the 1-1 draw contributed something.

Serge Gnabry (attack), up to the 80th minute:
The Bayer or Noch-Bayer, it is difficult to say at the moment, was known to be bustling, tricky, once he beat three defenders in the penalty area, but he was also in the end unlucky.
After all, one could not say that the contractual situation was noticeable on the pitch through his appearance.
That was committed, as you know it.

David Raum (midfield), from the 80th minute:
As a substitute for Gnabry, Hoffenheim still had ten minutes to make the defense more stable.
The fact that Italy didn't score any more was partly due to him.

Timo Werner (attack):
His steps, his tricks, the deception and then the quick attack, everything that you have seen from him so often, he tried again on Saturday.
His problem: His opponents have seen these tricks so often.
He can hardly surprise with that, his trump card is his speed.

Leroy Sané (attack), up to the 59th minute:
It has to be said: Sané slipped back into the crisis that doggedly pursued him a year ago before and during the European Championship.
The intermediate high afterwards, which was also linked to Flick's trust, is over.
The Munich player could hardly assert himself, was insecure on and with the ball, played passes into the void.
After an hour, Flick had seen enough and substituted him.

Jamal Musiala (attack), from the 59th minute:
came on for his Bayern team-mate for the last half hour.
With an unfortunate start: He had cheated his way free in front of the Italian goal and miserably missed the shot-in chance.
But what was said about Gündoğan also applies to him.
With his inclusion, the DFB-Elf became more creative and dangerous.

Hansi Flick (coach):
The national coach is still waiting for his first defeat.
After the Netherlands, the Italians were also able to put the DFB team under pressure, but they could not defeat them.
But a lot of things didn't work out even after the two weeks of preparation.
Flick will think about that.
He won't have more time with the team before the World Cup than he did last time.
