Germany against Italy: The classic goes into the second round. With this eleven, national coach Julian Nagelsmann wants to crack the rival.
For the German national team, the second leg in the quarter -finals of the Nations League against Italy is on the program. The team of national coach Julian Nagelsmann won the first leg in Milan 2-1 and therefore goes into the home game in Dortmund with a good starting point.
In the first duel, the DFB team showed a convincing performance with the “Azzurri” over long distances. Captain Joshua Kimmich in particular and goalkeeper Oliver Baumann knew how to convince – just like Leon Goretzka. The Bayern star was out for a long time and recently returned to the national team. Against Italy, the 30-year-old justified Nagelsmann’s trust in him with a strong performance and the winning goal in the Giuseppe-Mazza Stadium.
Even today, Goretzka is again in the initial formation in the duel of the two four times the world champion. The gate is again guarding Oliver Baumann, to whom the national coach for the Italian games as a representative of the injured Marc-André Ter Stegen had expressed confidence.
The start formation of the DFB selection:
The national coach also rotates vigorously and makes four changes. For Amiri, large, room and Burkardt, Stiller, Schlotterbeck, Mittlestädt and Small Service play.
Should Germany exist against Italy, the DFB team is going to the final four tournament of the Nations League. It is not yet clear who the team will meet.
One thing is clear: it will either go against Denmark or Portugal. The Danes won the first leg against the team around Cristiano Ronaldo. The second leg takes place parallel to the duel between Germany and Italy.
