Malick Thiaw made his official debut for Germany last night as he played from start against Poland. Even though they lost the game 1-0, the AC Milan defender was named the best German player on the pitch.
Thiaw was an important player for Milan in the second half of the season and this has earned him a spot in the German national team. Last night, he got to make his debut die Mannschaft faced Poland in a friendly.
The Milan centre-back was brilliant from start to finish and prevented several good opportunities. He couldn’t do much about the goal (came on a corner) and was given a 2 by Bild, with 1 being the best and 6 being the worst. As such, he was the MOTM for Germany.
Scout7Calcio published quite a lot of videos of Thiaw from yesterday’s game and Milan fans can look at these (see below) with great delight. He nearly scored a goal as well, but was denied by a fantastic save.
