Although they were the first team to qualify for the World Cup with 9 wins and 1 loss in 10 matches, scoring 36 goals and conceding only 4 in the qualifying rounds, Germany's loss to Northern Macedonia is a revelation of their inconsistency.
This time was divided in the group of death with Japan, Costa Rica, Spain, in the face of their own world ranking is lower than the two teams, is still full of quite a lot of variables, not to mention the face to Spain's heavenly mountain battle, it is more likely to kill the difficult to solve. To easily obtain

The opportunity to do so must have been quite difficult for Germany.

With the players they know best and the ability to discover new players, this is a German team that definitely fits all that Flick needs and wants.
Germany, never in the goalkeeper's talent pool on the lack of, this year Neuer and ter Stegen two is perfect protection of the German defense, in all positions, perhaps the goalkeeper, is Germany's least worried and proud of the position.
He's just not like everyone else.
When the Germans, like Kahn's teeth and claws, you can't say, you prefer to show your own calmness and coolness, Lehmann will be the one you admire the most as an idol. And especially, you helped your idol out by not being willing to be on the bench, and after 10 years on top, you never came off.
When people say that the one who stands in front of the goal is the goalkeeper, you strongly disagree and with the performance you show that there is no such thing as a pure goalkeeper. Why can't people call you a defender, a sweeper, or even a midfielder?
His ability to make saves has not been hindered by his age, on the contrary, he still has a 77.1% success rate and is still one of the top in the world. In addition, as the world's largest goalkeeper in terms of defensive range, he can also act as the last defender when all defenders are on the attack, averaging 2.17 defensive actions outside the penalty area, with an average of more than 22 yards of defense, Neuer in the backfield is the existence of impeccable. Organizationally, Neuer used his footwork and vision to make 36.2 passes per game and find his teammates at any position with precision. How do you define the man who is almost a defender, midfielder, and goalkeeper all in one? I'm sure you won't have a problem calling him the best goalkeeper of all time.
You're just so different, even at 36 years old, you know, this World Cup, maybe it's not the end of your career, right?
Germany, maybe a little sorry ter Stegen ......
Originally Germany's second goal is not a good choice, but in the last European Cup because of knee injuries missed the opportunity to be selected, but also let the fans feel a little uncomfortable, after all, every year will discuss the issue, is nothing more than ter Stegen and Neuer's one goal of the fight. And this year's World Cup, German fans do not have to be nervous! Because everyone will be able to discuss the matter again. Although the unfortunate and Barcelona together to go down to play the European hegemony, ter Stegen did not therefore regress, in the team's defense gradually aging he still has 42.3% of the ability to zero, 74% of the save rate is ter Stegen can make Barcelona in the league this year, 14 rounds of only 4 goals conceded an important key.
