GERMANY have gone to extreme lengths to ensure spies can’t steal their tactical plans ahead of their last-eight clash.The Euro 2024 hosts takes on Spain in a mouthwatering quarter-final on Friday.Julian Nagelsmann and Germany have gone all out to stop spiesCredit: EPAThe DFB have deployed a number of measures to stop info leaking outCredit: BILD FotoservicePolice on horseback have been permanently deployed around the perimeterCredit: BILD FotoserviceBild reporters were also followed by a team playing loud music to drown out noiseCredit: BILD FotoserviceThat means one of the tournament favourites will be heading home after the showdown in Stuttgart.Both sides have caught the eye so far, although some felt Germany were fortunate to secure a controversial win over Denmark in the last 16.Meanwhile La Roja continue to blow away all before them, despite having to come from behind to thrash Georgia 4-1.While many have backed Spain to go all the way, Julian Nagelsmann has had a six-day period to draw up a masterplan to stop them.READ MORE ON EURO 2024And both he and the DFB are going above and beyond to ensure that it remains completely secret.Quite often on the continent and at tournaments, officials from rival associations will be sent to the opponents’ training sessions to try and find or see something, no matter how little or small, to try and get the edge.But German chiefs have gone to unusual lengths to make sure no one from the Spanish camp can get anything.Additionally, there are also a lot of Spanish reporters currently near the German base in Herzogenaurach.Most read in Euro 2024CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSBut as Bild reports, anyone who walks along the public roads around the camp “will hardly believe their ears”.That is because a security team has been deployed to play loud music on their phones next to any passers-by.How hosts Germany look to return to their best for Euro 2024The song ploy – which includes a children’s TV show tune and a pop song being blasted out – has been devised to drown out any potential chance of Nagelsmann, whose own father was a spy, or his coaching staff dishing out any instructions.But that is not all that is being done to try and ensure home advantage.The two pitches at the camp are covered with high tarpaulins with security guarding the entire site.And there is also a police horse squad that has been permanently deployed on the public roads to protect the German team.Meet Germany’s Euro 2024 WagsGermany’s Wags range from a glam architect to a leading equestrian and a fashion model.Dani ter Stegen (Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s wife)One of Germany’s most popular Wags with over 600,000 Instagram followers.

ALAN SHEARER has called on Gareth Southgate to drop Phil Foden for England’s Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland.Reports have emerged the Three Lions boss could switch to a back three for Saturday’s clash, with Kyle Walker joining John Stones in central defence and Ezri Konsa replacing the suspended Marc Guehi.Alan Shearer wants Gareth Southgate to drop Phil FodenCredit: GettyFodenhas struggled in England’s four Euros games so farCredit: ReutersFoden is yet to register a goal contribution at the tournamentBut Shearer believes a 4-3-3 shape can still produce a positive England display, despite their insipid performance against Slovakia.However, he feels it is time to drop Premier League Player of the Season Foden, 24, after four underwhelming games on the left-hand side.And the Newcastle legend, 53, feels Anthony Gordon should come in for the Manchester City man – who had a goal disallowed in the 2-1 win over Slovakia.Speaking to Betfair, he said: “I can see what Gareth Southgate is trying to do, but I would much prefer if we were more balanced on the left-hand side, hence me wanting Anthony Gordon on that side because I don’t think the Phil Foden thing has worked there.READ MORE ON EUROS”I understand they are unbalanced because of Kieran Trippier having to play at left-back, he’s going to have to change again because Guehi is suspended.”Whether he thinks it is right then to change the system we don’t know. I would be surprised if he did.”I think Phil Foden has been unlucky, he hasn’t looked comfortable in the system England want to play.”That left hand side hasn’t looked right, we haven’t got in behind anywhere near enough on that side.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSShearer also wants Bukayo Saka to be replaced by Cole PalmerCredit: GettyShearer wants Anthony Gordon in for Foden against SwitzerlandSouthgate needs Mainoo to help cure England’s fear, says Jack WilshereKOBBIE MAINOO has shown he is the player that England need to build their midfield ­— and their team — around, writes Jack Wilshere.That’s what I felt as it looked like we were slipping to defeat against Slovakia.I know he was not on the pitch when our goals went in.But until that unbelievable comeback, Mainoo was our best player.He has a fearlessness and an instinct to do the right things at the right times that seemed to be lacking for so much of the game.Mainoo alongside Declan Rice gives England better structure. In theory, at least, because for so long it didn’t look like that.You can have any structure you like but if a team, individually and collectively, lacks confidence, you cannot use that structure effectively.A fear can creep in. A fear of failing. A fear of losing the ball.It is partly because of his age that Mainoo does not have that, or appears not to have it.This was his first start in a major tournament. He does not know what it is like to have a bad one.If we want to win this tournament, starting with the quarter-final against Switzerland, we will need to control games better.Mainoo is the kind of midfielder England have been crying out for for a long time.He can be the glue that holds together this team for the rest of the tournament and well into the future.Read Jack Wilshere’s column in full.Or check out all of Jack’s Euro 2024 opinions.”His game is he wants to come inside and someone comes on the overlap. That’s been difficult for England to do with the lack of a left footer in Trippier. So, he has been unlucky.”But he is going to have to make changes because they haven’t played well. I know they’ve won and they’ve got through but they were lucky.The Sun’s Tom Barclay gives England squad update from training ahead of quarter final clash with SwitzerlandEngland must go old-school to shock Switzerland… this formation would be perfect, says Jurgen KlinsmannIT might be time for England to try something different at these Euros, writes Jurgen Klinsmann.Maybe Gareth Southgate will want to start the quarter-final against Switzerland in a 4-4-2 formation, with Ivan Toney alongside Harry Kane up front.I think it might work, and if Gareth feels the same, he should do it.This is the time when, as a manager at a tournament, you have to trust your gut instinct and never hold back from unpopular decisions.The quarter-finals are make-or-break time. Win and you’re in the last four and everyone respects you.Lose and it’s not acceptable for big nations like England, Germany, France and Spain.England are facing the best Swiss team of all time on Saturday – and it is certain to be another rollercoaster.I understand there can be snobbery about playing a 4-4-2 but sometimes you have to do something different. It can still be a fantastic system — two hard-working frontmen like Kane and Toney can be a real threat to the opposition.I think England need to surprise the Swiss, to try something different.And that just might be a good old-fashioned 4-4-2.Read Jurgen Klinsmann’s column in full.Or check out all of Jurgen’s Euro 2024 opinions.”England got lucky the other night, they are into the quarter-finals, they haven’t played well. That has to be a positive because I’m sure that things can only get better.”Shearer, 53, also wants Cole Palmer to play on the right ahead of Bukayo Saka.Saka was moved to left-back in the extra-time win over Slovenia, while Chelsea talisman Palmer impressed on the right flank.
