Germany who had collected seven points to emerge the best in Group A will be up against Denmark in the quarter final match this Saturday. Havertz started the Euro and netted his goal in Germany’s opening match against Scotland with a 5-1 victory however, he could not get himself on the scoresheet in the two subsequent fixtures against Hungary and Switzerland.
Havertz vs. Fullkrug Debate
Still, Havertz who has enjoyed a good season at Arsenal and featured for the Premier League runners-up has been criticized during the Euros.
Some critics and supporters consider that the German national team should start Borussia Dortmund’s Niclas Fullkrug. Fullkrug deserves to be on the list of the best providers as a substitute, he has scored two goals one of them is the very last gasp equalizer against Switzerland.
Speaking about Havertz, Nagelsmann said that while he can understand the demand for Fulle, Kai looks worse in the eyes of the public despite having a clear role in many games: “He doesn’t have many ball actions because he is to create space for others, which he did exceptionally well in this case.”
Importance of Havertz
Nagelsmann emphasized Havertz’s role in the team: In the internal rating Kai Havertz is rankedvmuch higher than in the publi.
Nagelsmann said For the striker, it is not only to score a goal If you are substituted and an opponent is already tired, you have a little more space. Fulle also has a good rating, but Kai is an important player for us We will see who will start [with Denmark].
Germany’s Knockout Challenge
Denmark the Germany’s last-16 opponents were on second position in Group C preceding England. However, the England’s game draws a dark cloud for the KnocKout Stages because Denmark proved that they are quite a worthy opponent, having tied with the English team with a score of 1-1.
Denmark is expected to be knocked out by Germany’s side by former Premier football player, Chris Sutton who said, I’m actually doing this game with Vicki Sparks with Radio 5 live and can’t wait to see what Germany will do next because they began the tournament strongly against Scotland and even performed well against Hungary though they struggled a little against the Swiss.
