After not being nominated for the next two international matches, Leon Goretzka has shown himself to be combative with regard to the national soccer team.
“I know exactly what I have to do,” said the 28-year-old professional from FC Bayern Munich after the 2-1 (0-1) win at Borussia Mönchengladbach: “I’m sure a door will open again. “
In the past few days, the midfielder had been disappointed that national coach Hansi Flick had not been nominated. “I think it’s also legitimate to be disappointed. I didn’t expect that either,” said Goretzka, who also praised Flick for his handling of the squad nomination.
Goretzka sees himself on the right track
“Nevertheless, I also appreciate that Hansi sat down with me personally and tried to explain something to me,” said Goretzka, who currently sees himself on the right track again after a personally disappointing back series: “It’s broken down It’s about just playing better. I think I’ve definitely done better in the last three games and I’m trying to build on that.”
Thomas Müller, who is also not in the squad for the international matches against Japan and France, was relaxed. “I’m always in a very good exchange with Hansi. He knows: I’m ready for all crimes,” said the 33-year-old world champion from 2014. “But I also believe that German football doesn’t depend on my personality.”
