Qatar 2022: Germany team preview, predicted squad and line-up for FIFA World Cup

This
is
probably
after
a
long
time
that
four-time
World
Cup
winners
Germany
are
not
heading
to
the
World
Cup
as
one
of
the
outright
favouries.

Since
their
World
Cup
triumph
at
Brazil
in
2014,
Die
Mannschaft
have
flattered
to
deceive
in
major
tournaments.

While
they
were
expected
to
dominate
the
game
for
several
years,
Germany
failed
to
qualify
for
the
knockout
stages
in
the
2018
World
Cup
and
also
went
out
of
Euro
2020
in
the
last-16.

With
a
relatively
inexperienced
team
at
their
disposal,
Germany
are
not
among
the
favourites
which
could
well
act
in
their
favour.
Hansi
Flick’s
side
cruised
on
their
road
to
Qatar,
winning
Group
J
of
the
UEFA
qualifiers
with
27
of
the
30
points
available.
They
also
scored
36
goals,
the
second
most
prolific
attack
in
Europe,
just
behind
England
with
39.

Group

Germany
find
themselves
in
arguably
the
toughest
group
in
the
2022
FIFA
World
Cup.
They
have
been
seeded
alongside
alongside
Spain,
Japan
and
Costa
Rica.
The
Germans
should
be
able
to
qualify
from
their
group
but
it
won’t
be
straight-forward
at
all.

Injuries

Timo
Werner
has
been
ruled
out
of
the
World
Cup
with
an
ankle
injury
providing
a
major
blow
to
Flick.
Manuel
Neuer
is
also
nursing
a
shoulder
injury
but
should
be
fit
in
time.

Tactics
and
formation

Flick
has
mostly
used
a
4-2-3-1
system
with
Germany.
His
team
likes
to
play
on
the
front
foot
and
are
quite
entertaining
to
watch.

Predicted
XI

Manuel
Neuer;
Thilo
Kehler,
Antonio
Rüdiger,
Nico
Schlotterbeck,
David
Raum;
Joshua
Kimmich,
Ilkay
Gündogan;
Serge
Gnabry,
Thomas
Müller,
Leroy
Sané;
Kai
Havertz

Key
players

Thomas
Muller
has
always
been
a
man
for
the
big
occasions
especially
in
a
Germany
shirt.
He
is
one
of
the
more
experienced
players
in
the
side
and
will
be
a
key
player
for
his
side.
Joshua
Kimmich
and
Manuel
Neuer
will
also
be
two
crucial
players
for
the
four-time
world
champions.

Prediction

Germany
are
truly
one
of
the
biggest
giants
of
world
football
but
they
are
one
of
the
underdogs
this
campaign.
But,
they
have
what
it
takes
to
use
this
in
their
favour,
especially
with
a
wonderful
manager
like
Flick.
