Eight matches, eight wins!
German coach Hansi Flick, who took over from Joachim Löw after the Euros, has made an impeccable copy so far, but against lower level opponents.
The next game on Tuesday (8:45 p.m.) at the Johan-Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam against the Netherlands will be his first test against a top team.
Constrained by the absence of several key players (Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, Niklas Süle, Serge Gnabry), he had built a partially experimental formation against Israel, where the 19-year-old prodigy Jamal Musiala was the only Bayern Munich player at kickoff.
Marc-André ter Stegen replaced Manuel Neuer in goal.
The two Parisians Thilo Kehrer and Julian Draxler were starters.
The absence of automatisms was visible in attack, especially in the first period.
The danger mainly came from the left side, where the very attacking side David Raum (Hoffenheim) shone with the number and quality of his centers, for his fourth selection.
The "Chelsea boys" unblocked the game: Havertz scored with a header from a corner from Raum (1-0, 36th) and Werner deflected a free kick from Ilkay Gündogan (2-0, 45th + 1) into the goal. ).
Werner, currently struggling with Chelsea, retains all the confidence of Flick, with whom he has scored six goals in six appearances since September.

Despite the entries of Munich's Thomas Müller and Leroy Sané in the second period, the Germans continued to fish in the last or penultimate pass.
The last seconds were a story of missed penalties.
Müller fired one on the bar in the 89th minute, and Kevin Trapp - entered at the break for Germany - repelled another from Yonatan Cohen in added time (90th + 4).

On Tuesday, we should find the Mannschaft in a different and above all more "Munich" composition, in Amsterdam.
