Germany is certainly in the EM quarter-finals. ARD expert Almuth Schult would also change the team in several positions in the last group game against Sweden.
Almuth Schult would set up three new players for the game against Sweden on Saturday (9 p.m., in the Audiolive stream at Sportschau.de). “I would change a little bit to give other players the opportunity to start the tournament,” said the ARD expert. “This can be important in a ko phase.” Because Germany is already qualified for the quarter -finals.
Instead of national coach Christian Wück, Schult would treat Elisa Sense to take a break – and instead Sydney Lohmann Enter. Even striker Lea Schüller, currently the team’s top scorer with two European Championship goals, would give her a break “that she could take a breath”. For Schüller’s position would be Giovanna Hoffmann The first choice of the former national goalkeeper. “She always did well when she was substituted.”
So Almuth Schult would set up in the last group game against Sweden.
DFB fourth chain against Sweden unchanged?
The third change: Laura Free For Linda Dallmann in an offensive midfield. Dallmann tried, but “has not yet created the chances in width,” said Schult: “Although she got the penalty against Denmark with a great walk, she can show her class even more often.”
The rest of the eleven would train compared to 2: 1 victory against Denmark leave unchanged. Say: Klara Bühl and Jule Brand On the offensive, vice captain Sjoeke Nüsken In midfield, the defense chain with Carlotta Wamser,, Janina Minge,, Rebecca Knaak and Sarai Linder as well as Ann-Katrin Berger in gate.
Linder struck after Denmark game
“The defensive series could be tested against Sweden,” said Schult and warned of a “world-class offensive” of the opponents. “It is good if you have a well -rehearsal and when you see where it might have to get even better in nuances.” But: “I could also imagine that maybe Kathrin Hendrich will come in at half -time, that you can also protect one of the central defenders a bit.”
A (short) use of Franziska Kett on the left is also conceivable for you. “You have to see that Sarai Linder is 100 % fit and if she is not 100 % fit, you bring kett to take no risk of taking the tournament,” she said. Linder was slightly struck after the game against Denmark, but her use should not be at risk.
Germany plays against Sweden for victory in Group C
Schult describes the constellation in Group C as a “great starting situation”. Because Germany is already qualified for the quarter-finals, in a win against the Scandinavians, the DFB team would be group winners and could only meet the favorite Spaniards in the final.
“It is already pressure on the one hand because you now measure yourself against one of the title favorites, on the other hand it is also a relaxed starting point because you already have second place,” said Schult. “But it’s also about prestige, you want to win against Sweden.” And then there would be the important momentum: “It is always better to move into the ko phase with a win in the back.”
