The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder suggested that while the Three Lions boast superior squad depth, Thomas Tuchel’s history with man-management could be a potential stumbling block.
Freund argued that despite Germany’s emerging talents such as Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz, the overall squad depth may not yet match the elite standard needed to dominate the tournament in North America.
"They definitely have a better chance of winning the World Cup than Germany. Everyone in England has to realise that it was difficult for Tuchel to make the final decision of 26 players because they have far more options in England," Freund told Betway.
"We still have lots of discussions in Germany about a few players. For example, whether Matthias Ginter or Said El Mala should be in the squad. But England for Thomas Tuchel is far more difficult."
