In one month, the European Championship will officially start, and this year's European Championship will be held in Germany. Germany have an advantage as hosts, having failed to win a major tournament for 10 years, and this year's European Championships are an opportunity to end the title drought. 26 people set for 10 people! Germany officially announced the European Cup squad, and Na Shuai abandoned the 2 superstars, and the fans scolded.
Julian Nagelsmann's Germany have been drawn in Group A at the European Championships, where they will face Scotland in their first match, then Hungary and Switzerland in the final round of the group stage. At the last European Championship, Germany qualified in the Group of Death before being eliminated by England and reaching the round of 16.
This year's Euros will have 26 players per team, and those who do not make it to the starting line-up will be available on the bench. Recently, the German team has announced the players of the team, and nearly half of the players have been confirmed in the squad, including Neuer, Sane, Havertz, Phil Kruger, Schlotterbeck, Jonatanta, Pavlovich, Ferich, Koch and Mittelstedt.
There are still 16 players in the German squad that have not been announced, and according to the current situation, two will miss the squad, causing widespread dissatisfaction among fans. According to German media outlet Bild, Bayern Munich player Goretzka will miss out on the European Championships, and he has been informed of the decision.
Goretzka, who is currently 29 years old and worth €30 million, has made 41 appearances for Bayern this season and made 34 starts, scoring six goals and providing nine assists. Goretzka is an all-round midfielder, he can play both offensively and defensively, and he is in his prime but is unable to play in the European Championship on home soil, and Nagelsmann has been questioned by fans. Separately, Bild says Nagelsmann will not take Hummels to the European Championships either.
The 35-year-old is worth €6 million, and despite his age and low value, Hummels has been in excellent form this season. Hummels has made 38 appearances for Borussia Dortmund this season, starting 33 times, scoring four goals and providing one assist. In the Champions League semi-final against Grand Paris, Hummels was voted Man of the Match in both legs. In this season's Champions League for tackles, interceptions and clearances, Hummels is ranked No. 1.
Borussia Dort's Champions League final this season was one of the biggest contributors to Hummels' phenomenal performance. It is ridiculous that the German team does not call up Goretzka and Hummel for the European Championship, especially Hummels, who can play in the German team.
