At the 2022 World Cup, Germany is in arguably the toughest group and will play Japan in their opening match at the Khalifa International Stadium. Then comes their next game versus Spain, which many believe will decide the group and determine who would finish first in Group E. Hopefully not be their tournament but ends their group stage against Costa Rica.
So being in the group stage and not performing very well in recent times Germany needs to have a strong lineup to win the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2022.
Goalkeepers: Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich), Marc-Andre Ter Stegen (Barcelona), Kevin Trapp (Eintracht Frankfurt),
Defenders: Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen); Thilo Kehrer (PSG); Niklas Sule (Borussia Dortmund); Lukas Klostermann (RB Leipzig); Benjamin Henrichs (RB Leipzig), Antonio Rudiger (Real Madrid); Nico Schlotterbeck (Borussia Dortmund), Robin Gosens (Inter).
Midfielders: Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich); Jonas Hoffman (Borussia Monchengladbach); Julian Brandt (Borussia Dortmund); Leon Goretzka (Bayern Munich); Ilkay Gundogan (Manchester City); Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich), Florian Witz (Bayer Leverkusen), Florian Neuhas (Borussia Monchengladbach)
Forwards: Lukas Nmecha (Wolfsburg), Leroy Sane (Bayern Munich), Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich), Karim Adeyemi (Borussia Dortmund), Serge Gnabry (Bayern Munich), Kai Havertz (Chelsea), Youssoufa Moukoko (Dortmund).
So, their World Cup squad might look like this. But who among them played a crucial role to help Germany to lift the Cup for the 5th time? Let’s list the top 7 German players who could help Germany win this World Cup.
7 key players for Germany at the 2022 World Cup
1) Kai Havertz: Haven’t done much this season but played a very important role in Chelsea in 2021 to win the champions league. He is young he fast he can score goals at the crucial time he can score goals to take leads early. He is pretty much everything. So he has to be on this list.
2) Thomas Muller: Without him the squad is incomplete. He was one of the main players in 2014’s FIFA World Cup. He helped Germany to win that year so he can be useful this time too although he is not young now, experience matters which the German forward lacks this time.
3) Joshua Kimmich: His stats say it all. He is one of the best midfielders in the Bundesliga. Young and talented Mid Fielder who can be a great asset to this German team.
4) Jamal Musiala: Best young player in the world right now. His stats for Bayern Munich are crazy. He has to be on this list as his hunger to prove himself can help Germany a lot this time. Many will say he is too young to be in the squad but his game says he has to be on the team.
5) Leon Goretzka: Leon Goretzka, a midfielder for Bayern Munich, has established himself as one of the most gifted players of his generation, starting at the age of six when he played for his hometown club and progressing through his professional debut at 17 and his first Germany cap two years later.
6) Antonio Rudiger: From Chelsea to Real Madrid Rudiger never disappointed fans with his awesome defending skills and passes. There is no doubt he is going to be on fire in the world cup.
7) Manuel Neuer: There can be no argument that Neuer is one of the best goalkeepers of our generation. He has experience he has skills and whatnot. He is simply the best for the squad.
