“I understand completely from the human side and if we only approached it that way it would be obvious, but we have to look at the large picture” said Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann ahead of the Ecuador game, when asked about potential rotation in the starting 11, due to the fact that his team was first in the group, no matter the final score. He was stubborn enough to field the strongest team (minus two subs due to injuries) and the result was not good: Germany – Ecuador 1-2. Die Mannschaft played poorly, the starting lineup didn’t have enough will and energy to play against fiery Ecuador, and Manuel Neuer, who was still ahead of Oliver Baumann reacted poorly before both goals.Ecuador easily played their best game in the tournament, took a win against a stronger opponent when they needed to, and used all Germany’s misses in front of the goal to secure the win in the end, which will be enough for the Round of 32 for only the second time in their history. They had to deal with some refe..

It appears increasingly likely that Antonio Conte will become the new head coach of Italy national football team. According to reports from Gazzetta dello Sport, Conte has received strong backing from both the Italian football public and influential figures within the game. He is reportedly prepared to accept the job and, notably, is willing to earn less than he did during his time at SSC Napoli. The main reason is the difficult state of Italian international football. Italy have missed their third straight World Cup, creating a widespread belief that sacrifices are necessary to restore the national team. In Conte’s case, that sacrifice would be financial.🚨Giovanni Malagò’s IDEAL plan is to appoint Paolo Maldini as Technical Director & Antonio Conte as the NEW CT.

Unlike last World Cup, when they sensationally went out of the competition in the group stage already, the four-time world champions Germany are now in a stable position. They won both of their games in the group and will play a semi-friendly match with Ecuador. No matter the score, they will finish first in the group. Everything is fine in the team, there are not scandals, no quarrels, no visa problems and they even have tonight’s game to spare and to maybe rotate some players in order to rest some and ‘reward’ bench players who might not get another chance to participate in the World Cup. Especially goalkeepers. But coach Julian Nagelsmann still continues to create ‘controversy’ at this very important position.Simple recipe for Germany’s goals: Just field Deniz UndavDue to Manuel Neuer’s retirement from the national team and Andre Ter Stegen’s injury, a 36-year old Oliver Baumann was Germany’ number 1 keeper throughout all World Cup qualifying games. And just as he was about to parti..

Much ado about nothing.There had been months of speculation about where Andre Onana would continue his career after his loan deal at Trabzonspor expired, as Manchester United made it clear they didn’t want to take him back, believing they had struck gold with Senne Lammens’ arrival.It’s official: Manchester is building a new Old TraffordSeveral sides have been linked with the Cameroonian, the Red Devils’ demands, and different price tags were being mentioned, but in the end, the English side seems to have taken the path of least resistance.According to Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, Onana is set to rejoin Trabzonspor on another loan, delaying the decision about his next permanent destination for another year. The two sides have reportedly struck a verbal agreement, and the club from Papara Park will pay a loan fee.🚨According to @aspor, Andre Onana will join Trabzonspor on loan for another season.Trabzonspor would like to sign the player permanently, but Manchester United’s askin..

Kai Havertz came to the World Cup as Julian Nagelsmann’s primary attacking option. Nick Woltemade was seen as his understudy and a player who could cause panic among the rivals coming off the bench. However, both were overshadowed by a still little-known name in football – Deniz Undav.Perhaps because he failed at Brighton, or because he plays for Stuttgart – which is not a giant at the level of Bayern Munich nor Borussia Dortmund – or because he had to grind his way through the lower tiers of German football, or because he didn’t make his national team debut until the age of 27 – the 29-year-old wasn’t in the spotlight.Deniz Undav.
