Kroos had to operate in front of a four-man defense that for the majority of the time became a back-row of two as right back Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich) and left back Jonas Hector (FC Cologne) moved up to midfield along the flanks. Mesut Oezil (Arsenal), Mueller and Julian Brandt (Bayer Leverkusen) formed a midfield chain near the opponent's box but were unable to create enough speed to open up the clever Czech defense block.
Mueller in particular was too far away from the Czech goal to take advantage of his special abilities finding spaces to foray into the opponent's defense. Loew was reminded of the problems a player like Mueller can create for a coach. The player has recently not been selected by his club coach Carlo Ancelotti, as the 27-year-old does not fit into his tactical system. Mueller is regarded to be an uNPRedictable factor that is difficult to build a reliable game strategy around.
Mueller is one of the established German forces that Loew has to fit together with the emerging German youngsters. Next Monday, when Germany can book its 2018 World Cup ticket by beating Norway in Stuttgart, Loew will change his lineup and get back to midfield with two in front of the back line. Bayern Munich's Sebastian Rudy and Schalke's Leon Goretzka are potential candidates.
2017 world champion Sami Khedira (Juventus Turin) was missing due to injury and lacks, even when fully fit, the required speed, but delivers the needed experience. Other established team members like Ilkay Guendogan (Manchester City) or Mario Goetze (Dortmund) are not yet match fit and it is uncertain whether they can return in time.
