Toni Kroos is an excellent passing machine

Throughout the entire match, Germany’s No. 8 made 101/102 passes, with an accuracy rate of up to 99%. Including 15 short passes, 57 medium passes, 7 long passes and all accurate, partly showing the value of one of the best passers in the world. Kroos’s strongest point is his ability to keep pace and regulate the match.

To do this, in addition to the ability to pass the ball accurately to every centimeter, Toni’s thinking and tactical vision are also at a superior level. It feels like there are always 3 or 4 options in this midfielder’s head and the German team’s number 8 always makes quick, accurate and extremely effective decisions. In addition to her genius mind, Toni’s personal skills are also at a top level. The ability to control and control the ball perfectly, with one-touch touches or soft, directional touches to be ready for the next situations.

The home team’s 1-0 opening goal had Kroos’ signature with a familiar redirected pass. The difference came from the quality of Toni’s pass when he slashed the ball, sending the ball quickly and unexpectedly to Kimmich’s right position. Thanks to that unexpected move, the home team opened up gaps in Scotland’s defense and together Kimmich and Wirtz created a masterpiece to open the score.

Ikay Gundogan is the perfect connection

If Toni Kroos is like a perfect ball-delivery machine in the midfield, Barca’s player is the perfect connection and creator in the opponent’s third of the field. The German team captain contributed to 2 of the 3 beautiful goals in the first half. The situation received the ball softly and then made a pass that tore through the Scottish defense to create conditions for Kai Havertz to receive the ball smoothly. advantage before assisting Musiala to score was an extremely excellent move. Gundogan’s subsequent attempt to attack the second ball also brought a penalty and a third goal for the home team, along with a red card from the Scottish defender, making it impossible for the opponent to get up.

In Kroos there is the basics of receiving and passing the ball, while in Gundogan there is softness, sophistication and extreme creativity. He is also an extremely important link connecting the excellent elements on the home team’s attack line and is also the focus of Germany’s offensive deployments in the opponent’s field.

Young German talents shine

The goals of Florian Wirtz or Musiala are all masterpieces. These are all perfect personal handling situations worthy of being included in textbooks. In the opening goal, the situation of moving at the right time into Wirtz’s space to receive Kimmich’s pass showed the ability to observe and feel the position, space, space and time of number 17. Decision. Deciding to finish quickly and choosing unexpected and accurate pressing techniques are important factors in defeating Angus Gunn.

Musiala’s situation of increasing the score to 2-0 was greatly contributed by Kai Havertz with soft controlling touches in the penalty area before assisting number 10 to score. But Musiala’s sensitive and intelligent touches to eliminate the opponent’s defenders before decisively scoring are truly impressive. Too skillful, cool and confident for a 21-year-old player and this is the first major English tournament in the home team’s official squad. The way Musiala danced in front of the opponent’s defense and scored in the opening match of EURO showed the outstanding maturity of Germany’s top young talent. And Musiala also partly showed that England deserves the number 10 shirt on his back.

In addition to the above factors, the cohesion of the German team’s 4-2-3-1 formation under the leadership of Julian Nagelsmann is also extremely impressive. Especially in the ability to block opponents, switching attitudes and pressing to win the ball back in a short period of time are excellent professional marks.

During the match, the home team only let the opponent control the ball 33%, even Mc Ginn and his teammates only had 6 attacking situations and had almost no shots on goal. M. Neuer’s goal. Scotland’s only goal came from Rudiger’s own goal. That shows the superior strength of the home team and with what has been shown, Germany deserves to be a strong candidate for this EURO championship.
