On July 3, the crucial showdown between Germany and Spain is set to take place, and German coach Nagelsmann faces an important decision: choosing between Sane and Wirtz for the starting lineup. Both players possess unique attributes, and Nagelsmann must weigh their strengths and weaknesses to construct the optimal lineup.
Sane, the 28-year-old winger, is known for his speed and ability to penetrate opponent’s defenses, providing a boost of momentum to the German team. In the match against Denmark, Sane’s speed left the opponents bewildered, making him Nagelsmann’s preferred choice. Sane excels at making deep runs, directly threatening the opponent’s penalty area, making him a lethal weapon in counter-attacks.
Wirtz, despite being only 21 years old, has demonstrated mature midfield control and exceptional vision. His presence in the midfield area makes him a reliable passing option for his teammates, and he can also create more dangerous scoring opportunities. Compared to Sane, Wirtz may have a greater influence in the midfield, providing more tactical flexibility to the German team.
While both Sane and Wirtz have the potential to start, the possibility of them both playing together is low, considering that Musiala and Gündogan are already confirmed in the midfield positions. Nagelsmann will likely make his choice between Sane and Wirtz based on the opponent’s strengths and tactical needs.
Furthermore, the German team might employ a “surprise attack” tactic, launching a ferocious offensive from the beginning of the match, leveraging the speed and impact of Sane or Wirtz to overwhelm the opponent. This tactic has proven its effectiveness in previous games, notably against France, where Wirtz stunned the entire stadium with a lightning-fast goal.
Apart from the starting positions of Sane and Wirtz, the rest of the German team’s starting lineup seems to be determined. Havertz will replace Füllkrug, Tah will replace Schlotterbeck, and Raum will take over from Mittelstädt. However, the final starting lineup will remain a mystery until the day of the match.
This showdown between Germany and Spain tests not only the tactical skill levels of both teams but also Nagelsmann’s strategic acumen. Whether Sane or Wirtz starts, they will bring unique styles and strength to the German team, pushing the team toward victory.
