Teams have targeted this place. No side has accepted more balls than Italy in the competition (16), resulting in good opportunities.

game

Laurence feels that it is a ‘tough ask’ for Germany to defeat Spain

Problems for Germany are present in midfield and a defense defense. Back between a suspension for experienced center Catherine HendrichCaptain hurt and only right back Giulia gin And on fitness concerns Sarai LinderThe paper is thin on the back side of the Christian Vac.

These problems are only amplified Sojke NusenSuspension due to accumulation of yellow card. Chelsey The midfielder is a joint top goal scorer for Germans, who scored in a back-to-back game. She ranks into the top three for several aggressive and defensive matrix for Germany, including shots, penalty boxes, and touch in recovery.

The tournament in the German Midfield by design lacks control. It is struggling to maintain and broadcast possession and is quite easily over. These issues were exposed against Sweden, who overloaded wide areas and placed the side of four past Wuke, and they will remain in view of the lack of options to fix them.

Numerical benefits in broad areas are a simple strategy for hurting German defense often removing German defense. There should be a large-scale two-way load with comprehensive players, it is easy to hold them out of size.
