The European Football Championship starts in two and a half months. National coach Julian Nagelsmann has already decided on his desired eleven for the tournament. It is now known that there are only three FC Bayern players in the starting eleven.
According to information from “Kicker”, Julian Nagelsmann's plans for his starting eleven are already very advanced. Consequently I have the DFB-The coach already has a specific team in mind that should be on the pitch in the Euro Cup. The stars of the German record only have partial chances and, compared to the past, lose influence in the national team.
As expected, Nagelsmann should rely on Bayern captain Manuel Neuer in goal. The 37-year-old has been in top form for months and will take priority over Marc-André ter Stegen, who has recently struggled with injuries.
Kimmich, Musiala and Neuer under the command of Nagelsmann
Another Bayern star should be part of the team in defense. Joshua Kimmich will therefore take over as Munich's right-back, as he did recently, as Nagelsmann himself recently confirmed. In addition, Maximilian Mittelstädt is in the left back position and Antonio Rüdiger and Jonathan Tah are in the center of defense.
Neither Leon Goretzka nor Aleksandar Pavlovic are the usual midfielders. Here the national coach plans the return of Toni Kroos, with Robert Andrich or Pascal Groß as starters alongside him.
Offensively, DFB captain Ilkay Gündogan will occupy the eighth position, while the two gems Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz will be ahead of him. Leroy Sané, Serge Gnabry and Thomas Müller are not listed as starters. The forward spot for the Euro Cup is still open.
