Why Sane was not called to the World Cup with the selection of Germany

The omission of Leroy Sane from the Germany team by Joachim Low for the World Cup has been a great shock for those who have marveled at their performances at Manchester City in the last 18 months, but not so much for those who They have seen their progress with the German team in the same period of time.

Sane was one of the most important players of the City of Pep Guardiola, achieving the prize of the Young Player of the Year of the PFA, in addition to the title of the Premier League. The 22-year-old is improving more and more with City, adding a tactical understanding to the skill set that already includes electrifying dribbling and impressive goals, signing 14 as 'citizen' and 15 assists, one less than Kevin De Bruyne.

The German winger has shown that fits perfectly in Guardiola game plan, so the news of Low's decision was not understood in many corners of the world. In Germany, however, the reaction has been a little more moderate. While Sané has become an important weapon for Guardiola, he has had trouble adapting to Low's system in recent months.

Low does not play in the same way as Guardiola. Sane plays to the left of the attack for both teams, but while embracing the lime line with the City, allowing David Silva to take advantage of the spaces, Low does not use classic extremes: he wants less direct players. In the City, Sane is the one that finishes the movements, for Germany it is expected to start them. In general terms, Sane's task with the national team would be more similar to what Silva gives City, and how he plays for Spain.

There could also be other reasons. Sane missed the Confederations Cup last summer after choosing to undergo a nose surgery, which was not considered completely necessary by the coaching staff. As well as certain attitudes outside the field and in training, with a point of arrogance. Whatever it is, the conclusion is that Sane was left without a place in Low Germany.

Finally, Low decided to summon Neuer, who arrives with just enough for an operation in the foot. The one who was left outside was Sané.

This is the official 23-player Germany call:

Goalkeepers: Manuel Neuer (1, Bayern München), Marc-Andre ter Stegen (22, FC Barcelona), Kevin Trapp (27, Paris St. Germain)

Defenses: Jerome Boateng (17, Bayern München), Matthias Ginter (4, Borussia Mönchengladbach), Jonas Hector (3, FC Köln), Mats Hummels (5, Bayern München), Joshua Kimmich (18, Bayern München), Marvin Plattenhardt ( 2, Hertha BSC), Antonio Rüdiger (16, Chelsea), Niklas Süle (26, Bayern München).

Midfielders: Julian Brandt (20, Bayer Leverkusen), Julian Draxler (7, Paris St. Germain), Ilkay Gündogan (21, Manchester City), Leon Goretzka (14, Schalke 04), Sami Khedira (Juventus Turin), Toni Kroos ( 8, Real Madrid), Mesut Özil (10, Arsenal), Sebastian Rudy (15, Bayern München).

Strikers: Mario Gomez (23, VfB Stuttgart), Thomas Müller (13, Bayern München), Marco Reus (11, Borussia Dortmund) and Timo Werner (9, RB Leipzig)

By not preferring the speed of Sané by the extremes, one of the main strengths, Low decided to rely more on Brandt, who has an associative game and can also perform as a front center. Germany will debut against Mexico, this June 16, in the World Cup. Will Low have been wrong? Time will tell...

but inside all this Leroy Sané will be missed in the selection ...

for me the player who was key in the German team.
