White Goes From Hero to Villain

Hopefully we see far more than in the World Cup this summer.

ESPN FC

But for me, it was a normal progression that he will go through.

ESPN FC

And that's why I'm really happy for him today that he showed some of his super skills in that friendly with Switzerland.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

Well, I think they have, quality-wise, they have a good side, a side that can go far in this World Cup.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

The question is, you know, how will the chemistry work?

ESPN FC

Who are the leaders of this team?

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

When I watch them still today, I don't see, you know, who's the boss of that gang or who's the boss of the team.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

And since Manuel Neuer said that he's not available anymore, you know, obviously they have now as a number one, they have Oliver Baumann there in goal.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

yeah, on the international level, that's a different story is the goalkeeper of, uh, of Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

Um, but the quality is there.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

They have, they have the players to do, to do well, but, uh, um, yeah, I'm, I'm really curious to see if they have the desire, if they have, uh, the capability to suffer throughout the entire world cup, it's going to be a long world cup with five and a half weeks.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

Um,

ESPN FC

But a performance like today, you know, where you see a young Florian Wirtz, and we still, when we talk about Florian Wirtz, we don't have to forget that he's still very, very young.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

It's not that he's around the block already for many, many years.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

So it will be interesting to see how that hierarchy within that team will look like when they go into the tournament, who makes the calls on the field, especially on the field.

ESPN FC

And then I think quality is there, especially attacking quality is strong.

ESPN FC

When Musiala has come back, he didn't play today.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

So once he's hopefully in full strength coming into that side, then they can hurt anybody in the World Cup.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

Defensively, I saw a couple of issues today.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

Obviously, he gave away three goals, but yeah, it will be interesting to see.
