A soon to be sold Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho had a great season in Germany. In fact, this is the second good season for England international in BVB shirt and after a two year pursuit, Manchester United is closing in on their long waited transfer target. After the first round of EURO 2020, England finished first in their group and will face their old rivals Germany in the knockout phase, but Sancho is yet to have a meaningful participation.Manchester United finally decide to pay 16.2 billion for Jadon SanchoIn fact, a guy who scored 16 goals and had 20 assists last season for Dortmund played only 6 minutes so far, and is behind Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka in the pecking odrer. And Germany legend Lothar Matthaus is finding it confusing that such a player doesn’t have a bigger role. In fact, the former Germany international even joked that his country should offer Sancho a chance to play for Germany. „He was one of the best players in the Bundesliga for the last two years. If he is not good enough for England, we would like to give him a German passport. It has surprised many in Germany“ joked Matthaus, puzzled by Sancho’s omission from the tournament so far. 🎙Matthaus 🇩🇪 on England not picking Jadon Sancho 🏴: “If Sancho’s not good enough for England, we would like to give him a German passport.” #EURO2020 pic.twitter.com/ldLri9DiZB— RouteOneFootball (@Route1futbol) June 24, 2021 Of course, the main topic was the great derby match between England and Germany, which is scheduled for Tuesday. And Matthaus gives England a chance to win, but only within 120 minutes. If the match goes to penalties, Germans are favorites. „England have a chance to win – but not with penalty kicks. If it goes to penalties, Germany will win, so England have to do it inside 120 minutes. We are always very good with penalties. It’s always a little bit of a joke between the Germans and the English but if it goes to a shootout then we are the favorites. You start to think about what has happened in the last 30 or 40 years. When we played in 1990 and 1996… It’s a lot of pressure for the English players because they read every day in the newspapers all the stories about penalties“ said cheeky Matthaus. 🎙Joshua Kimmich 🇩🇪 on facing England: “We are optimistic because we already showed a good performance against Portugal. I’m looking forward to it to be honest. There are worse matches to play than at Wembley against England. I think we can make it and be successful.” #EURO2020 pic.twitter.com/sAtLumkqCT— RouteOneFootball (@Route1futbol) June 24, 2021 Former Bayern player also said the Germans should not be fazed by playing against England at Wembley, because they did it before and had success, even with the full capacity crowd. „England don’t like to play against Germany but Germany also don’t like to play against England,’ he said. But the players have to be happy to have a big game in Wembley. It doesn’t get any better. Wembley is something magical still and in the last 20 or 30 years we had very good experiences – we won Euro 96 there, Didier Hamann scored the last goal in the old Wembley. We like Wembley“
