International Friendlies: Germany 0-1 Brazil, 5 Talking Points

#2 Germany will rue missed chances

Joachim Low will quickly need to fix a few issues

Bereft of the services of Mesut Ozil and Thomas Muller, Germany were unquestionably weakened in the attacking department. However, the true problem lay not in creating chances, but in finishing them.

As mentioned in the previous slide, Die Mannschaft created chances aplenty and mustered an impressive total of 13 shots. The cause for concern, though, is that not one found the back of the net.

Of the 13 shots, an abysmal grand total of 1 was on target - and that's undeniably a problem when your attack constitutes the likes of Leroy Sane, Julian Draxler, Mario Gomez, Leon Goretzka, Sandro Wagner and Timo Werner, who featured with a cameo.

Joachim Low will definitely need to address the issue on hand before the next set of international friendlies in June, just a fortnight or so before the razzmatazz of the World Cup takes over.
