Why Reus Needs To Be Stopped Tonight If England Want To Beat Germany
England host Germany this evening in what is bound to be an enthralling tie, despite the meaninglessness of it all. The travelling national are said to be ready to rest a number of players for the clash at Wembley, but there is still one man who will need to be stopped if Roy Hodgson wants to come out of the tie with any kind of result, and that is Marco Reus.
The Borussia Dortmund playmaker is a creative outlet who has the potential to be a match winner in any game. He has played in every single one of Dortmund’s Bundesliga ties this season, scoring seven goals, and making an astounding 38 passes.
He can play on either flank or through the middle, meaning that the entire England backline will need to be switched on, but in particular Kyle Walker.
The Tottenham right-back is known for his pace and his determination to storm up the pitch, but he will need to be careful this evening as Reus will be waiting for him to do just that, before pouncing himself.
Reus has won 30/53 of his take ons and Walker has won 9/14 of his, so it will be an intriguing battle down the wing.
