Last performance in June 2021
Emre Can is hoping for a return to the German national team after good performances recently. “In the last few weeks I have shown what I expect from myself. My goal is always to help my team in difficult phases and to offer myself for bigger things like the national team,” said the Dortmund defensive all-rounder before BVB’s round of 16 second leg in the Champions League at Chelsea. The game takes place in London on Tuesday evening (9pm/Amazon Prime Video).
The 29-year-old, who has played 37 international matches so far and last appeared in the national jersey in the European Championship round of 16 against England (0-2) on June 29, 2021, longs for a lasting form high: “I hope it wasn’t just a phase and lasts longer.”
After injury problems and weak games in the period before the winter break, Can seemed to be on the way to becoming a permanent noble reservist at the Revierklub. But since the league restarted, he has impressed with his strength in tackles and qualities as a leading player. “I thought about it during the winter break. In the first half of the season I was too disappointed and bitched about things I can’t change. I let that get me down. I pointed to others and said, okay, it’s not my fault. But it’s not like that in football,” explained Can. Conversations with family and friends helped to break the mood.

Borussia Dortmund’s wolf is also hoping for a call from Flick
In addition to Can, high-flyer Marius Wolf is also hoping for a call from Flick, who has never played for the DFB’s A-Elf. His coach Edin Terzic recently advertised for the right-back. “We just hope now that he can be consistent and stable. Whether he will then become an issue for the national team… we would really wish him that, but that’s not my job,” said Terzic. “It’s my job to support him in constantly delivering this performance and improving it. Hansi Flick and his coaching team can then decide the rest.” With a market value of 6.5 million euros, he is one of the 20 most valuable non-national players in Germany.
