Germany and Colombia to Face Off in Friendly Match
The German National Team is set to take on Colombia in a friendly match early tomorrow morning. The team’s head coach, Hansi Flick, has stated that all players are fit and ready to give their best performance in the game. The match will be held at the Arena Veltins in Gelsenkirchen, Germany on Wednesday (21/6/2023) at 01:45 AM WIB, as the team prepares for Euro 2024 next year.
Flick’s Excitement and Strategy for Germany
Flick expresses his excitement for the upcoming match, saying “We are looking forward to it. It will be an interesting and important match for our journey and development.” According to the coach, Colombia is an aggressive team when not in possession of the ball but emphasizes that all players have trained together and are in good health.
Flick also reveals two players that he believes will be pivotal in the match, Malick Thiaw in defense and Iikay Gundogan as a midfielder. He applauds Thiaw’s performance against Poland and confirms that he will play in the upcoming match. Meanwhile, Gundogan, described as a smart player, has consistently provided quality gameplay over the years, making him an important player for Flick.
Germany’s Recent Results in Test Matches
Following their elimination from the group stage in the 2022 World Cup, the German National Team has struggled to achieve favorable results in their test matches. In four previous fixtures, they recorded only one win, one draw, and two losses. During this month alone, the team finished two test matches with a draw and a loss, with their most recent defeat having been to Poland with a 0-1 scoreline.
The friendly match between Germany and Colombia offers a chance for the team to regain some momentum before the upcoming Euro 2024. Although the Colombian team is known for its aggressive style of play, Flick’s confidence in his players’ fitness and ability to perform at their best will undoubtedly give them an edge in the much-anticipated game.
