Looking at Germany's attacking formation vs Italy Scheme #1

Here's something I did diagramming Germany's play versus Italy. The German somewhat handled Italy's 3-5-2 formation on offense but had a hard time against their 5-3-2 defensive formation. You can't fault Die Mannschaft from trying. Look at how Joachim Low's men formed their attacking formations this time with Mats Hummels as the focal point.

Eight triangles. Ultimately, this led to Mesut Ozil's terrific flick to Mario Gomez whose backheel was parried by Italy goalkeeper Luigi Buffon.

Low likes to put Toni Kroos, sometimes Bastian Schweinsteiger, or even Hummels at times in this formation where they can spray passes to teammates.
