Germany, where Hansi Flick replaces coach Joachim Low and Toni Kroos and Mats Hummels are no longer in the squad, came to Qatar with significant changes compared to last year’s European Football Championship.
İlkay Gündoğan, a football player of Turkish origin, who could not participate in any major tournament in his national team career due to the unfortunate injuries he suffered, is among the players that Flick expects a lot. Ilkay scored 16 goals in 62 matches for the national team.
While the two teams have faced each other twice so far, Germany was victorious in one of these matches, and the equality was not broken in the other match.
