The Germans, as their tradition follows, have always been the stronger ones and have been heavily dependent on their power. But, in recent years, they have given more preference to the ball and its possession.

Their change in style is said to be revolutionised by Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich. As Bayern's Thiago Alcantara said, he transformed German’s pragmatic play and turned it into a harmonious one which saw them become world champions.

With players excelling in all positions, Die Mannschaft can adapt to change in formations midway through a tournament.
