At 3:45 on November 15th, Beijing time (20:45 on the 14th, German local time), Germany played a warm-up match in Cologne, where they managed to draw 2-2 with France despite being behind twice. This result kept their unbeaten streak at 21 matches, following their loss to France in the semifinals of last year’s European Championship; it was also their first unbeaten season since 1997. Lakazette scored twice, with Martial and Mbappé providing assists. Özil set up Werner for a goal, while Kroos’s free kick hit the crossbar. Substitute Götze provided an assist that allowed Stindl to equalize in the final moments.
German football has been doing very well in recent years; the teams have complete rosters and luxurious lineups. What’s more, these teams possess a strong playing style and high-level skills, truly reflecting the German tendency for \"mechanical\" play, as well as Germany’s meticulous attitude.
