Germany will debut this match with Sane as a replacement for Wirtz and this change from Nagelsman makes me worry for his team. Sane is very unstable with his performances and sometimes he plays at world class level but most of times, he plays at low level. This can affect attacking power of German team in this big match.
Florian Wirtz has been very impressive in this competition why he has scored one goal and provided one assist. His passing accuracy has been 93.34% in three matches, which is very impressive. Benching him in the second-round game against Denmark came as a surprise considering his performance so far. However, it all depends on head coach Julian Nagelsmann's playing strategy. Maybe Leroy Sane suits his plans against Denmark and now Spain. The Spanish side is a very aggressive attacking side that will need some strong and rugged players and I think Sane will suit the game.
In other recent news, Jude Bellingham received a softer ban than Demiral. Jude has 1 match ban but it is not immediately and he can play a quarter final match for England. Demiral, a central defender of Turkey, receives a 2 match ban which takes effect instantly. This means Demiral will not be able to play a quarter final match for Turkey against Netherlands and even the semi final match too. It's big loss for Turkey and Euro 2024 nearly ended for this player.
News on bans on Demiral and Jude Bellingham.Both players didn't commit the same offense. Merih Demiral celebration was offensive because it is associated with the Turkish right-wing extremist group Grey Wolves. His gesture has even triggered some diplomatic disagreement between his country and the host nation. I think he deserves the ban. Jude Bellingham's celebration is not associated with any racist or extreme ideology. But I hope both players and others have learned lessons from these bans
