Germany's Quest to Not Embarrass Itself, the WC26+NL24-25 Thread

according to Spanish reports, Toni Kroos is recommending Real Madrid buy Stiller in Summer.

yup, next gen M is coming soooooon, we could be looking at 4+ young M in top clubs next season.

 

LOL Di Salvo would totally bitch if this happens. I don't mind if we focus on other U21 CFs for U21 Euro instead.

Nick Woltemade has good chances of being called up to the senior national team for the first time for the Nations League Final Four. With Kleindienst sidelined and Undav/Füllkrug unlikely to get a call up, Julian Nagelsmann is considering Woltemade to fill in the gap upfront… pic.twitter.com/2JaymteUp5

for Sule you guys shouldn't forget that Nagelsmann has known him for a LONG LONG Time.

but yeah it feels messy at how we are forced to call up and do makeshift CB pairings in a SF, LOL. And also missing loads of CFs too.

 

🚨🔜 Positive and advanced talks are ongoing between the DFB and TSG Hoffenheim regarding Benjamin Hübner!

Hoffenheim do not want to stand in his way. The clear trend: Hübner is set to become Julian Nagelsmann’s new assistant coach with the German national team from the summer… pic.twitter.com/9yNn4b1wj1

its pretty interesting how we keep hiring Assistant Coaches that look to have 0 potential as next SNT coaches.

Flick was the last SNT assistant who had potential to become SNT coach every other Assistant coach=NOPE.

still funny how Flick is worst ever SNT coach because of his own stupidity and nothing more.

 

🚨🔙 Aleksandar #Pavlovic is returning to the German national team!

Julian Nagelsmann will call him up for the Nations League Final Four.

He’s recently been a regular starter for FC Bayern again and is in top form.@SkySportDE 🇩🇪 pic.twitter.com/OtJJZAtNel

surely Kevin Schade will get called up and he's another who can play all attacking position. He's also always had a great air game too. And another in that 00-onwards age group too.

its one reason I never bought the so called Sane comparisons. Sane can't play CF and their style is different too.

will be curious to see who takes Woltemade's spot in U21 though.
LOL Di Salvo, Moukoko (goes on a bad loan because of BVB), Beier (with Club World Cup), Woltemade (SNT), Adeyemi (SNT+Club World Cup) and suddenly HUGE amount of attackers that were difference makers are all gone.

Tresoldi+Weiper are likely need another.
Candidates are Harres, Lemperle, Scherhant, Ansah, Downs, Topp, Pejcinovic (injured so nope for him)

 

Woltemade to SNT is interesting
-surely he's Germany's tallest ever CF, no? At 1.98m tall I don't think anyone has ever been that tall for us, unless I'm mistaken. Almost all of the CFs from the 60s-90s were in that 170s-180s range only from what I recall. In the 90s era we started to seeing 190s tall but I don't recall anyone being almost 2m tall.
-he's nicknamed Woltemessi and Swabian Ibrahimovic, LOL
-has very promising package, has potential to be complete CF aka very good technical skills, dribbling skills can dribble past 3-4 players, back to goal/hold up play, build up play, passing, getting better in terms of aerial play compared to his younger days
-made difference in every match in DFB Cup this season aka helped the team make the Final this season.
-on track to win DFB Cup top scorer, the 1st German young player to win that since Thomas Muller like 15 years ago.
-back in March, completely and utterly destroyed and wrecked Spain U21!!!!!!!
-imagine someone like Woltemade playing along with Musiala and Wirtz funny enough they've never played together not even YNT.

I don't think we've ever had someone like him dev by Germany nor is he a type of player that other countries dev either. Which makes him a more unique type of player.

Potential wise he shouldn't have any issues fitting in with SNT as not every CF is suitable for SNT.

 

who cares about CWC, sheesh.

we are close to breaking our 2017 Trophy drought, 1st SF for Germany since then and already have too many missing players.........

 

surprising that Burkardt+Schade=both left out....like how is Gnabry ahead for example???

Bischof is surprise call up, who would have thought. Then again Nagelsmann is a HUGE fan of his and he had a breakout 1BL season.

with Bischof, Pavlovic, Stiller the next gen Ms are already making the SNT jump!!!!!

 

how long until Ouedraogo gets that SNT call up!!!! LOL, go full on next gen!!! Gross, Goretzka, Andrich are all in their 30s.

Nagelsmann on Tom Bischof: "He played a very good season despite Hoffenheim's difficult situation. He's a very promising player for the future. I think it's good to have him here now and be able to test him. His new club [Bayern] didn't release him for the U21 Euros, but the schedule allowed that we call him up and he still can play the Club World Cup. It's deserved because he played a good season"

 

interesting fact
Fullkrug, Undav, Woltemade=3/3 played in Werder Bremen's Academy

will Keke Topp be next? LOL.

 

Pletti has stated that Dahmen is GK #4.
