THE CULÉS DID NOT SHINE IN GERMANY-DENMARK
Another 'grey' match for Gündogan against a Christensen who was not 'enough' for Denmark
Gündogan and Ter Stegen's Germany have 'sneaked' into the quarter-finals of the European Championship after defeating Andreas Christensen and his Denmark. It was not the night of the FC Barcelona players
Germany has celebrated a new victory that classifies them to the quarter-finals of the Eurocopa. The goals of Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala signalled the way to the ones of Julian Nagelsmann, that expect rival of the crossing between Spain and Georgia (Sunday, 21:00 hours). It was a night 'agridulce' for the FC Barcelona because, although they have celebrated the pass of Gündogan and Ter Stegen, have seen the farewell of Andreas Christensen of the tournament.
The central has been one of the pillars of Denmark in the tournament and one of the pasadores more reliable, because it loses very few balloons, but in the Signal Iduna Park was insufficient and finish suffering more than the account. It was in his usual place, of third head office, by the left, and was key to minimise to Leroy Sané. It did not have the best possible party, but yes was very effective in the defensive facet.
In 81 minutes of action, completed five clear and three 'tackles', winning seven duels, the one who more achieved during the night, and with 92% of tarpaulin in the passes (35/38). It closes the tournament with good feelings and leaving reasons so that Hansi Flick see him like an alternative for the axis of the defensive saga of the Barça, where feels more comfortable playing.
Gündogan, uncomfortable in front of Denmark
By his part, Gündogan was still in the same line of the party against Switzerland. It was especially careless and little participatory in the game of Germany. In the Eurocopa, has gone of more to less and this Saturday Julian Nagelsmann finish it replacing shortly after the hour of party, when the marker followed 1-0 and the crash followed entirely open.
The midfield player of 33 years saw uncomfortable on the lawn and without a lot of margin of participation. It is 'fixed' behind the forward and has not achieved the form to keep a high performance from there, in addition to that the defences are detecting him very fast when it wants to advance and colarse in the rival area. Already it had noticed in front of Switzerland and against Denmark repeated the history.
