Germany has to replace the blocked Carlotta Wamser in the European Championship quarter-finals against France. ARD expert Almuth Schult would bring even more new players in defense.

At the European Championship quarter-finals against France on Saturday (9 p.m., live in the ticker and audio stream on sportschau.de), national coach Christian Wück has to switch to one position: right-back Carlotta Wamser is missing. ARD expert Almuth Schult has a clear opinion on who should replace it.

Almuth Schult’s desired list for the quarter -finals against France

“I would Sophia Kleinhernen give a chance “she said. “Wück always had a good hand to trust someone.” Previously, Wamser had received this trust as a replacement for the injured Giulia Gwinn and justified it until her dismissal against Sweden.

Schult would bring Kett and Hendrich against France

In front of goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger Would be trained even more. “I would go on the left Franzi Kett Start because she has a different pace “she said. “Unfortunately, Sarai Linder did not convince me in the course of the tournament. There were deficits from the pace and also tactical behavior, which can be evil against French women.”

The third changeover in defense concerns central defense. “I would Kathy Hendrich bring in. Because of her speed, her experience and because she also did well for the game last time “says Schult. Hendrich could together with Janina Minge Bring security in. Accordingly, Rebecca Knaak would have to go to the bench.

Sophia Kleinherne (left) and Kathrin Hendrich could be used against France.

Before that, however, Schult relies on continuity. “Because the defense chain is already changed, I would not rotate anything with the sixth. I would be with Sjoeke Nüsken and Elisa Sense start, including the outside Klara Bühl and Jule Brand I would leave it that way. “ All four were always in the group games in the starting eleven.

Lea Schüller should also meet in the quarter -finals

Schult would replace in the ten position and Linda Dallmannthat had played against Poland and Denmark again from the start. “Unfortunately, Laura Freiech was not as effective against Sweden as you had hoped for”so her impression. “Dallmann is very keen to run, which can be important for the pressing.”

In Schult’s desired line -up, everything remains at the front. “There is no reason for me Lea Schüller to change “she said. “She was not always involved in the game, but she did the crucial goals. That is what we expect from her. She didn’t hit Sweden, but she was involved in the introduction of Brand’s hit.”

Germany against France again with chain

Schult does not believe in a system change from four to five chain to the second half against Sweden – and would not do it in Wück’s place. “For me, the chain of five was not so convincing.”

To do this, the former national goalkeeper rely on the fact that France also shows weakness. “You have often played a perfect group phase in recent years and then weakened in the quarter or semi-finals. Therefore you have to prove that you are a favorite.”
