ANALYSIS-Soccer-Dream performance for Gosens as German intimidates Portugal

MUNICH, Germany: Germany coach Joachim Loew punched the air when Robin Gosens headed in their fourth goal at the far post in their Euro 2020 Group F 4-2 win over Portugal on Saturday, knowing his attacking gamble with his in-form left back had paid off in spades.

"But an amazing performance from him. He worked very hard and on top of that he was a constant threat up front as well. That is exactly what we needed today." Against the Portuguese, he had free rein to display his full set of skills and live up to the title of his autobiography 'It is worth dreaming'.The Atalanta defender was crucial to Loew's plan to attack more often and faster than in their opener, and his constant runs gradually gave forwards Kai Havertz and Serge Gnabry more space to operate inside the box.

The defender, a psychology student in his spare time who prefers books to video games, kept up his frenzied runs, remaining a constant source of concern for Portugal's defence.
