Joshua Kimmich and Serge Gnabry will take the lead in Euro 2020. These players will dominate the German national team.
Kimmich for the rescue
Make note of those two positions listed above, as whether Kimmich is operating on the right side of defence or in the centre of midfield, his impact will be substantial. He’s arguably the best in the business in either role, with Flick this time the man capable of adding weight to that suggestion in a recent interview with 51, the official Bayern Munich magazine. Flick said: “He can become the world’s best player… He’s already a world-class player in several positions but he can take another step – and I hope he does.”
Kimmich’s delivery – from both dead and moving balls – will also pose serious questions of the upcoming opposition and the man who averaged more touches per 90 minutes than any other player in the Bundesliga last term will be looking to continue orchestrating proceedings from the get-go when Euro 2020 gets going.
Dominant player from Bayern – Gnabry
Only Lewandowski and Muller scored more times for Bayern than Gnabry in the league last season as the club wrapped up a ninth Meisterschale on the spin. It highlights the Stuttgart-born forward’s growing potency, and subsequent importance for his side in being able to convert chances into goals, goals into points, and points into prizes.
Gnabry has transferred that added devastation to his game into the national team, as highlighted by his 15 strikes in just 20 appearances for Die Mannschaft. Throw a further six assists into the mix and the 25-year-old’s 21 goal involvements work out as a Gnabry-crafted Germany goal every 81 minutes.
That makes him the most dangerous player in the team going into an international tournament that will require important contributions at crucial junctures, in order to settle matches by the finest of margins.
