On The Continent: What next for Germany, Norway’s improvised squad come to the rescue, and Sassuolo’s impressive start in Serie A

On The Continent: What next for Germany, Norway’s improvised squad come to the rescue, and Sassuolo’s impressive start in Serie A

Today, Dotun and Andy are joined by Nicky Bandini to bring you the biggest stories from across Europe!


After Germany’s rude awakening on Tuesday night, we ask why the national team are flagging when their domestic clubs are enjoying such success and wonder whether or not Joachim Löw should return to the old guard to get things back on track. Spain look formidable, meanwhile, and Nicky explains why Alvaro Morata is showing his best again.


Elsewhere, we look at Norway’s remarkable improvised squad - after they were forced to call up practically an entirely new group of players based outside of the country due to coronavirus restrictions. Plus, we explain why Sassuolo are rapidly becoming the new Atalanta in Serie A, as Roberto De Zerbi works his magic, and one of the lost talents of Italian football makes his mark.
