They were worryingly open against both Albania and Spain and the switch to a back threeonly seemed to make them flatter going forward. In goal Gianluigi Donnarumma has had a fine tournament, but a lack of creativity and the absence of a top-class centre-forward are major issues.
Are Denmark good enough to trouble them? Probably not – although that’s what people thought before the final of Euro 92 which Denmark won 2-0. They flickered against Slovenia andbut are very reliant on Christian Eriksen for creativity. Well as he played in the opening game, the Manchester United midfielder struggles to last a full 90 minutes. But Denmark are solid enough, so if Germany aren’t quite at their sharpest, they could make life difficult.at Euro 2016.
Slovenia showed against England how good they are at sitting deep and frustrating an opponent, the central defensive pairing of Jaka Bijol and Vanja Drkusic ensuring the injury to Miha Blazic has gone largely unnoticed. And as they showed against bothand Serbia, they can mount a threat on the break, and aren’t afraid to unleash their full-backs, Zan Karnicnik and Erik Janza; there will be defensive work to do for Bernardo Silva and Rafael Leão.
