I think he lost the direct duel against Sane. Then the boy should just play in the U21
Anyone who saw Sane against Luxembourg knows that El Mala would bring significantly more impact.
The national coach is currently showing that he does not act according to the performance principle.
Not just related to El Mala, but in general. While Stiller is sitting at home, there is a Goretzka kicking, who one would hope could still be enough for the second division at Bochum
So I can no longer stand this bashing against the same players and hype about players who play a few minutes in the Bundesliga. I am very familiar with Goretzka; in the Munich forum he has become persona non grata and has already been completely written off. Then he fought his way back and if you can have a lot of playing time in Munich, then you can also have it in the N11.
Nagelsmann also explained the personnel and it was relatively understandable. I have no idea whether it won’t be received in Cologne if you idolize your own players too much.
In my opinion, a nomination came too early anyway, I assume that El Mala was never really scheduled for playing time, unless he might have destroyed everything in training.
Please don’t misunderstand me, I also see El Mala as one of the greatest promises for the future, but it’s not surprising that he doesn’t immediately play in important World Cup qualifying games.
And one more thing when I always hear something about the performance principle here. Your performance principle does not have to be that of other people, because performance is assessed differently and experts such as professional trainers certainly have different standards than we do. In addition, you have a big picture in mind and every now and then someone has to jump over the edge because they don’t fit into the concept or the positions are occupied by better people who also bring synergies from the club (Kimmich > Pavlovic; it’s called block formation, which has always existed, by the way).
