Lothar Matthäus speaks out in favor of Leroy Sané as Thomas Müller’s representative. In his column on “Sky Sport” he wrote: “In my opinion, Leroy is the first candidate. (…) Germany can absorb this loss against Hungary. In the further course it would be extremely important to have Thomas back on the field . “
Despite the support for the 25-year-old, the record international also criticized the FC Bayern winger: “I took a closer look at him while warming up and when you compare it with Kimmich before the game, it’s almost a sign of body language other sport. So maybe the national coach doesn’t like the attitude of the Bayern player again and that’s why others are currently being preferred. “
Matthew predicts a 4-0
With or without Müller, Lothar Matthäus believes in a clear victory against Hungary. Willi Orban’s team scored 1-1 against France, but there won’t be any points against Germany, says the 60-year-old: “Against Hungary it will be a completely different game than in the first two games. They have nine men Szalai is in the back and in front. Even if their game against France was served as a warning, I guess our team will win 4-0 and win the group.
The duel between France and Portugal ends in a draw, according to Matthäus. “That would be ideal for the rest of the tournament. Even if the English disappointed in the brother duel against Scotland. A round of 16 at Wembley against England really doesn’t have to be.”
