That’s it : Löw has to test its pros before nominating his European squad no longer matches. After the defeat against England and the victory against Italy, there are winners and losers in his squad – we count on who is allowed to cheer and who must tremble
. used last chance. For most international that when convincing 4: 1 against Italy were doing, the final international game came just before the EM nomination of candidature. Gotze, Kroos, Ozil, Muller – the incumbent world champions have underpinned their status in Team
Germany coach Joachim Loew has a little more than one and a half months, last impressions and shape developments of his players to watch.. On May 17, he shall designate his team for France.
“Of course my decision still depends to a large extent on what happens in the next few weeks. It has been seen that some players have really also fought for their place and have shown good performances, “said Loew after defeating Italy, the few days earlier but a slapdash 2: preceded 0 lead: 3 against England after. 2
After a little over a week, the person who brought the DFB team together and started with the sacking of Wolfsburg striker Max Kruse, FOCUS online draws a conclusion. In Low’s squad competition there are five winners and seven losers:
Five winners
. 1 Mario Gomez: The Besiktas striker was indeed used only against England but compelling performance with a superb headed goal and great commitment (Note 2 in the FOCUS Online Player Ratings). The 30-year-old is due to fitness and marksmanship again getting close to the first team when Loew – not many expected and had therefore after the World Cup summer of 2014

. 2 Toni Kroos: Clear boss in the center. Namely, at a position that is actually closely fought with Bastian Schweinsteiger, Ilkay Gündogan and Sami Khedira. Kroos played against England solid (Note 3), against Italy outstanding (1) and shined each from a distance with gates.
3. Mats Hummels: It takes a small miracle happen if form Hummels and probably be right back Jerome Boateng fitte not central defense at the European Championships. As the Dortmund against England (3) left the place, there was once three goals. Even against Italy acted the Borusse very solid (3) – or rather indispensable
4.. Jonas Hector: The Good in the post-Philipp-Lahm-time thing is that there are positions in the DFB team again that are really competitive. This vacuum has the Cologne line racer Hector rear left used by itself (notes 4 and 2). Frills football, very straight forward, fully focused and awake. Löw like that

. 5 Mesut Özil: The playmaker from FC Arsenal trotted against England while again to himself (Note 4), Özil fired the German game but also on bad nights with brilliant moments. then used defensively against Italy (Note 2) – and won convincingly. Loew has become convinced once more of the pass intelligence and playfulness of Linksfüßers. And now do not only as numeric is an integral Özil EM regular place candidate
Seven losers
. 1. Antonio Rüdiger: The defender of Roma showed against England (Note 4) multiply lack timing in the tackle. Stability and security beamed the former Stuttgart hardly times. Against Italy (Note 4) the stopper rendered then striking number of fouls. The good thing about him: passion and enthusiasm are always noticeable. Just as the will and willingness to improve his game.
. 2 Emre Can: Negligent performance against England (Note 5), error-prone, at moments even a security risk. then substitute quite late against Italy. Good for Liverpool: The right-back position, while not be Hotspot, yet he has continued a good chance there to get hold of the trunk space
. 3 , Marco Reus: right listless performance against England (Note 5), far below its usual level BVB. The wing dribbler found even after Substitutes against Italy never into play. From potential ago actually one of the best players in Low’s squad. In reality, then often disappointing – just like this time. Too bad.
4. André Schürrle: The National as structural therapy and wellness oasis? Has not this time worked for Schürrle. The Wolfsburg came against England late pure (Grade 5) and was partly to blame for the winner of the British. Against Italy, there were then 90 minutes of the Bank – As of today: far from an EM Master Course. But for the squad’s will be enough.
. 5 Lukas Podolski: 15 minutes against England, zero against Italy. While Löw knows the qualities of the 30-year old Galatasaray striker. The only problem is: They are asking more and more rare in the DFB-Team
. 6. Marc-André ter Stegen: Snails race behind Manuel Neuer. Who is number two in the European Championships? Ter Stegen afforded against Italy (Note 4) in return passports few moments where Loew winced outdoors. Later there was criticism by the federal trainer: In the “game release” have the Barcelona keeper hesitated too long. So miss
. 7. Max Kruse: Was the Wolfsburg striker now perpetrator or victim? So be it: After several public become escapades Loew threw the attacker from his squad, pointing out national team would still be role models. Hard to imagine that Kruse is nominated for the European Championship again.
23 player may take Löw in June for EM. Of the 23 World Champions 2014 Philipp Lahm, Per Mertesacker and Miroslav Klose have resigned, Kevin Grosskreutz has in Löw no chance and Roman Weidenfeller is in Dortmund only number two.
Since Loew will certainly give many world champions and at the European Championships confidence, not much more than five places will be free. Here is an overview of who can plan with the EM and who must tremble:
