Duel of the giants: Germany demands Italy in the National League quarter-finals!
On Thursday, the DFB national team will meet the fear opponent Italy in the legendary San Siro in Milan in the quarter-final first leg of the Nations League. At 8:45 p.m., this highly expected football classic begins, which for Germany is the first chance of moving into the final Four. National coach Julian Nagelsmann is faced with considerable personnel concerns: goalkeeper Marc-André Ter Stegen as well as the offensive players Florian Wirtz and Kai Havertz fail due to injury. For her, Oliver Baumann stands in the goal, while sports director Rudi Völler classifies the game as a big test stone and emphasizes: "It's not a normal game. It's about being a lot."
Italy, on the other hand, has recently presented itself in a strong form, especially in the group phase against well -known opponents such as France and Belgium, which is optimistic about coach Luciano Spalletti. In the Italian sports newspaper Gazzetta Dello Sport it is speculated: "Is the true Italy back? Germany will show it." A successful appearance of the "Azzurri" could lead her to the final Four for the third time in a row, while Germany will have to give everything in the second leg in Dortmund next week to realize the dream of progress. If the Germans succeed, the chances are favorable to carry out the final tournament in Munich and Stuttgart at the beginning of June, as laola1.at
