Tactical System



First Option

Dynamics

Germany needed to stop the fast transitions from Italy in order to secure it’s defense.

Usually Germany shows up in a 1-4-3-3 tactical display, with a lot of pressure in the defensive process.

Regarding the offensive process, Germany usually opts to populate the space in the middle and between the lines.

Against Italy, overcrowding the center would left empty spaces in the areas that Italy uses to counter attack.So Germany changed the system to a 1-3-5-2 in order to control the wings in the counter attack.

Searching for Space

DynamicsA 3-defender system creates more concentration in the area.

Germany needed to control the 2 forwards and the 2 wingers whom gave Italy a lot of depth in the offensive process – this was the biggest threat.

Germany still struggled when Italy changed the side very quickly, specially Kimich on the right side.

Shooting Zone

Dynamics

Although some struggle to get the marking zones right, they were really compact and basculated really well along the game. With the support of the injured Khedira and Schweinsteiger later, the 3 defenders defined the pressure zones effectively.

Creating numeric advantage was essential to stop Italy, and to be closer to the ball when it went on the wings.This didn’t allow the italians to take advantage of the space created.

Shots

Dynamics

Italy didn´t dominate the game but created a lot of shooting opportunities.

As we can see, they tried with different players to variate their game and creat more problems to Germany, often with long shots, due to the lack of space in the danger zones.
