There was a brief pause.
Even in commentary, the name carried weight.
"A special player," Fàbregas said quietly. "Already one of the most dangerous in world football."
Matthäus shifted slightly. "And now Germany."
The screen transitioned.
"Germany line up in a 4-2-3-1," he began. "Marc-André ter Stegen starts in goal."
Fàbregas followed. "Back four — Raum at left-back, Tah and Koch as the centre-backs, and Kimmich on the right."
"Double pivot in midfield," Matthäus continued. "Goretzka alongside Pascal Groß."
"And ahead of them," Fàbregas said, "a very dynamic attacking line. Florian Wirtz on the left, Adeyemi on the right…"
He paused for a fraction of a second, then smiled.
"And Lukas Brandt in the number ten role."
The camera cut briefly to Lukas on the pitch, bouncing lightly on his toes, focused.
Matthäus picked up again. "And leading the line — Woltemade."
