Weather of Arabia - The stars of the German national team were subjected to a heavy attack by mosquitoes in their camp after qualifying for the quarter-finals of the European Cup, which raised fears of the transmission of diseases to the players and their absence from the decisive matches in the next round.

Germany qualified as top of its group with 7 points after an exciting draw with Switzerland in the third round of the group stage on Sunday. The team players were surprised by the large number of mosquitoes in the camp, as striker Maximilian Pierre complained of their bites, saying:

“We're running away to the offices. I've been bitten by mosquitoes two or three times, but if mosquitoes are our biggest problem in the tournament, that's okay.”

What is the reason why German players are attacked by mosquitoes?

Southern Germany was exposed to floods earlier, and the high temperatures contributed to the abundant appearance of insects. The stadium for the match between Germany and Hungary in the last round was like a beehive throughout.

Martin Geber, an expert in entomology, said in statements reported by The Sun newspaper:

“This type of mosquito is very aggressive, appears in large numbers and bites during the day and at night.”

Mosquito bites raise concerns about transmitting many diseases to players, as their bites are responsible for dozens of them.
