Germany – National Team EURO 2021 – All Important Information
Despite their poor performance during the 2018 World Cup campaign, the Germany National Team are heading to the EURO 2021 Championship with one goal – to prove to the whole of Europe and the world that they are still a superpower in the world of football.
Germany definitely wasn’t lucky during the 2018 World Cup campaign, since they were dumped out with only 1 solitary victory. It was a huge disappointment, since they won all of their 10 games during the qualifying campaign.
This time, Joachim Low is determined to avoid that scenario at any cost, and make their nation proud once again, like it was the case in 2014, when they won the World Cup. Can Germany repeat their major success from 2014, or at least make it to the quarter-finals at the EURO 2021?
Here is all the important information about their football manager, possible lineup, key players, the full squad, tactics, form, and the schedule of upcoming matches!
Football Manager of the Germany National Team
Joachim Low is a former player and soon-to-be-retired head coach of the Germany National Team. His biggest achievement so far is leading the team to victory at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil He announced his resignation from the current position after the EURO 2021 Championship.
So far, during his managing career, he led his team to 2 European Championship semi-finals, 2 World Cup semi-finals, and the victory at the 2014 World Cup. This major international tournament will be the last one for him as the official manager of his team.
““I have great triumphs with them and painful defeats, but above all many wonderful and magical moments – not just winning the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. I am and will remain grateful to the DFB, which has always provided me and the team with an ideal working environment.” Low stated.
Germany Possible Lineup for the European Championship
When it comes to the possible lineup of the Germany National Team for the upcoming championship we expect to see Neuer on the goal, Hummels, Süle, and Rüdiger in the back. Kimmich, Kroos, Klostermann, Sané, and Gosens are expected in the midfield, while Werner and Müller will be in charge of the attack from the front line.
The Key Player of the Germany National Team
Serge Gnarby is a winger for Bayern Munich and the Germany National Team. As a senior player, he appeared in a qualification match against San Marino for the 2019 World Cup in November 2016, where he managed to score a hat-trick in the 8-0 win.
This 26-year-old winger is famous for his powerful, dynamic dribbling and for his unpredictability on the field. He is always focused to get straight in front of the goal, and is considered a serious threat to the opposing team.
Besides Gnarby, there is also Timo Werner, who is playing as a forward for Premier League club Chelsea and the Germany National Team. In the 2019/2020 season, Werner finished as the second highest goals scorer of the league. After an amazing 95 goals in 159 games for Leipzig Club he moved to Chelsea.
Werner has managed to score 35 goals in 35 caps for the Germany National Team, which is his record so far. We shouldn’t forget Joshua Kimmich who is one of the best midfielders Germany ever had.
He is the best No.6 in the world when it comes to central midfield. Kimmich already has 14 assists from 33 matches from Bundesliga and Champions League this season. According to all that, it doesn’t surprise us why Kimmich is among the key players of his squad.

Tactics & Form of the Spain National Team for the EURO 2021
Although Low had a lot of experiments with the formation of his team on the field, it’s clear that he has mostly stuck with a 4-3-3 formation. We expect Joachim to go with the same system this time.
During their qualification campaign. Germany managed to achieve a record of 7 wins and 1 defeat in 8 matches. They scored an incredible number of 30 goals in these matches. Winger, Serge David Gnarby scored 8 goals. Thanks to their fantastic forward line, they made it to the top of the group with 21 points.
