Going into his last major tournament, departing Joachim Low must deal with a significant poacher problem.

While fans in the national league enjoyed the goal-festival created by Robert Lewandowski (41), Andre Silva (28), and Erling Haaland (27), a German spearhead is not in sight.

Facing 2018 world champion France, 2016 European champion Portugal, and underdog Hungary in Group F, the German coach is forced to do the job counting on a false nine.

Other than most of his leading European competitors, the 61-year-old has to try to solve the shortage upfront with a range of strikers far from what you call a goal-machine in the box.

“We haven’t got what you call a typical 9 and what you see in the squads of other nations,” Moenchengladbach managing director Max Eberl said.

“England has Harry Kane, France Karim Benzema or Olivier Giroud and Spain Alvaro Morata,” Eberl added.

The Bundesliga’s most successful native striker Lars Stindl (13 league goals), hasn’t been selected for Low 2020 Euro squad. Stindl reached position 7 in the 2020-21 Bundesliga season but is more of an offensive midfielder.

Seven of the top 10 in the Bundesliga’s topscorer list are foreign footballers not available for Low.
