For Ginter, meanwhile, this European Championship is about advertising on his own behalf – even if he doesn’t want to hear about it: “I see myself as a team player and this is all about our mutual success,” he said SPORTBUZZER, the sports portal of the RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland (RND). But the situation is clear: Ginter’s contract with Borussia Monchengladbach expires in 2022, his employer could earn money with the defensive boss for the last time this summer. It almost seems suspicious that so far no discussions about a possible contract extension took place, as confirmed by Ginter.

The market value of the 27-year-old is currently 30 million euros (source: transfermarkt.de) – and Borussia, like almost all Bundesliga clubs, urgently needs money in Corona times. The bosses’ plan originally envisaged the Swiss Denis Zakaria for sale, but after its disappointing season the inquiries are limited. At Ginter, on the other hand, there are enough interested parties. Either Bayer Leverkusen as well as RB Leipzig and Inter Milan have put out feelers for the defensive all-rounder, whose flexibility is not only appreciated by the national coach.

On Saturday it applies to Kylian Mbappé to stop the next superstar: Cristiano Ronaldo, who with his double pack at the 3-0 the Portuguese against Hungary at the top of the all-time European championship goalscorer list. “He’s still one of the best strikers in the world,” said Ginter, who with his ex-club Borussia Dortmund met “CR7” several times in the Champions League duels against Real Madrid. “I’d better not watch his best-of videos,” joked Germany’s defender, “but our scouting department will provide us with all kinds of information about our opponents. We’ll be as prepared as possible. I’m looking forward to Ronaldo.”

Regardless of any tactical debates, there is little doubt that Ginter will also be in the starting line-up against the reigning European champions – after all, he delivers like clockwork. Joachim Löw enthused during the preparation: “Matze has never disappointed us since he has been with the national team. He is incredibly reliable, always fulfills the tasks that are given to him. He understands very quickly and learns. He is reliability in person, brings a risk of goals on the offensive and is important for the structure. ”The national coach has only one assignment for his pupil:“ He has to be louder, direct more and correct. ”Perhaps he will take this step in Barcelona soon.
