Germany faces Scotland for the opening match of Euro 2024, this Friday (9 p.m.). Here is the expected composition for the host country.

History will remember that the gathering in March, in the spring, changed everything forGermany team. Plunged into a deep sporting and structural crisis, the Mannschaft managed to create an eleven in the last few months to tackle “its” European Nations Championship.

Renowned for his playing precepts and his qualities as a builder, Julian Nagelsmann deviated from his habits by thinking in the short term. The coach of the host country should still rely on this typical team for the inaugural match against Scotland, this Friday evening (kick-off at 9 p.m.).

No number 9 for Germany?

As against the France team three months ago, Germany should rely on an eleven structured around numerous training midfielders. The notable surprise concerns the absence of a real number 9. Havertz is expected to start at the forefront of an attack where the young playmakers Musiala and Wirtz will be eagerly awaited.

Other experienced executives like Gündogan and the returning Kroos should allow Germany to have a proactive approach with the ball. Andrich is also expected in the middle in a less brilliant role, in front of a central hinge Rüdiger-Tah. Kimmich should start on the right side, with Mittelstadt occupying the left flank. The Neuer dinosaur will hold its place in the goals.

The expected composition for Germany : Neuer – Kimmich, Rüdiger, Tah, Mittelstadt – Kroos, Andrich – Musiala, Gundogan, Wirtz – Havertz
