Gündogan: Germany Ready to Take on Spain in European Championship Quarter-Final with ‘Extremely Special’ Yamal as Key Player

Germany’s national football team is feeling confident as they prepare to face Spain in the European Championship quarter-final. Captain Ilkay Gündogan believes that despite Spain being highly respected, Germany has qualities that match up well against them. He praised 16-year-old player Lamine Yamal as an “extremely special” talent, but also noted that he still needs to learn more, particularly in defensive movements.

Gündogan highlighted the importance of Yamal’s role as a transition player for Spain, especially if they lose possession quickly during the game. He emphasized that the team that handles not having possession of the ball better will have a significant advantage in the match on Friday.

In terms of form and efficiency, Gündogan believes that both teams are among the top performers in the tournament so far. He expects both sides to perform well in handling transitions without possession during the upcoming match in Stuttgart.
