That's the same as last match but it's still far from perfect. Get fucking Mertesacker in ther and push Boateng to the left. You just can't leave Höwedes alone with Messi. |
Mertesacker is too slow. I think Germany is anticipating Argentinian counterattacks. And I doubt Argentina will try too much of their luck with aerial attacks as the German defense is well equipped for that anyway.
Howedes is fine. The formations are never static. Germany rotates well and has the most versatile team. He has help from khedira, schwein to block any attempts to cut in and if need be, Lahm will rotate with him. I doubt Messi wants to go full on the wing on his right foot.
Hoep Di Maria plays because he's the only other player on Argentina that will give Germany problems with his pace and dribbling.
