Löw, I had decided to do without both, as well as Jerome Boateng , to promote a renewal, but said this Wednesday that with a view to this tournament we must bring the best possible team.

” At the time, the decision was correct, we wanted to promote renewal and give space to young people. But now against Europe we must resort to it, especially after the great season they have had, ”said Löw.

The great absentees from the call are the goal of Barcelona Marc-André Ter Stegen , as he will undergo knee surgery, and Marco Reus, who decided he needed regeneration time after the season.

Regarding Ter Stegen, Löw said that, although he regretted his absence, it was clear that he had two good goalkeepers, with Bernd Leno and Kevin Trapp, behind the undisputed starter Manuel Neuer.

Löw explained some of his criteria, ranging from the need to have at least two players for each position to what he called the “tolerance to frustration” of players. that will not be headlines and the current performance.

Another novelty is the return of Kevin Volland , a pure nine, who can make up for a deficit he has had Germany since the withdrawal of Miroslav Klose.
