Manuel Neuer (Goalkeeper,Euro 2024)
One of the greatest goalkeepers of all time,Manuel Peter Neuer made his debut for Germany way back in 2009. Since then he has been the number one choice between the sticks for his club and country.Neuer is the only goalkeeper in the history to have played in four consecutive World Cups. The Bayern Munich captain played a starring role in his nation’s World Cup triumph in 2014 and was awarded the Golden Glove.
At Bayern Munich,Under the mentorship of Pep Guardiola, Neuer redefined the role of a goalkeeper in the modern game. Modern day goalkeeper doesn’t only need to be a good shot-stopper,he has to be a great passer of the ball to start the attacks from the back. Additionally the goalkeeper has to be at his toes to clear the balls being played in behind his backline. Neuer mastered all these traits and has been an asset for his club and country for a decade and half.
At 38,this might be Neuer’s last dance at the Euros. He will be determined to deliver the long-coveted fourth European title for his nation in front of his home crowd. Last year or so haven’t been kind to Neuer. He has missed the whole 23/24 season due to a lower leg injury that kept him out for almost a year. He has recently returned from that severe blow and will be itching to play for his beloved country.
Neuer possesses the personality,charisma confidence and winning mentality to lead this talented side to glory. The only question mark will be around his fitness. A fit and healthy Neuer is very important for the German team.
Florian Wirtz (AMF,Euro 2024)
The breakout star of the German football,Florian Wirtz,was in sublime form for newly-crowned Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen. The Xabi Alonso coached side also lifted the DFB Pokal. Wirtz was at the heart of a record breaking campaign for his club where they lost only a single game in the entire season and that loss was against Atalanta in UEFA Europa League final.
Many players played their part in a historic season for Bayer Leverkusen But the star of the season was the 21 years old Florian Wirtz. Playing as an attacking midfielder he was the creator-in-chief for the Xabi Alonso’s side. Wirtz scored 18 goals and provided 20 assists in 49 games in all competitions for Bayer Leverkusen.
German National team will expect similar impact from Wirtz in Euro 2024. After three back to back poor international tournaments,the host nation will look to turn the tide this time around.To do so ,they will rely on the young guns such as Wirtz,Jamal Musiala,Aleksandar Pavlovic and others. Wirtz is probably the pick of the lot. He should back himself to deliver at the international level and become an integral part of German football team. He hasn’t quite flourished for his homeland. In 16 games games for Die Mannschaft he has only scored once. His current form suggests that he will drastically improve those numbers at Euro 2024.
Jamal Musiala (attacker,Euro 2024)
Jamal Musiala, arguably the best young player in the world at the moment,will be the key man for Germany at the Euro 2024.At just 21 years of age, Musiala is already the main man at Bayern Munich. His mesmerizing skills are a joy to behold.His dribbling style is reminiscent of one of the greatest midfielders ever Andres Iniesta.
Musiala was not quite at his best in the recently concluded season. Overall Bayern had a horrendous 23/24 season, where they went trophy less. Musiala played 38 games in all competitions for his beloved club,scored 12 times and provided 8 assists. These are not good enough numbers for the player of Musiala’s ability. germany will hope much better from their star man at the Euro 2024.
Jamal was eligible to play for both England and Germany. He opted for the latter. He made his international debut in 2021 against iceland. He played for Germany in Euro 2020(held in 2021 due to Covid) and in Fifa World Cup 2022. In 2022 World Cup group stage game against Costa Rica,Musiala completed the second most dribbles(13) in World Cup history,only Jay Jay Okocha (15) completed more.In 27 appearances for his country,Musiala has scored just twice.These are not impressive stats for the player of his stature. If Germany aspire to win the Euro 2024,Jamal Musiala needs to be at his brilliant best.
