Before the German national soccer team starts their first international match of the new season against Japan on Saturday evening (8:45 p.m.), we want to know from you: who should national coach Hansi Flick nominate for the starting XI of the DFB team? Vote now and choose your dream elf!
National coach Hansi Flick originally nominated a total of 25 players for the two international matches against Japan (Saturday, September 9, 8:45 p.m.) in Wolfsburg and against France (Tuesday, September 12, 9 p.m.). In the end, however, a maximum of 24 stars will be used, because attacker Niclas Füllkrug, who recently switched from Werder Bremen to Borussia Dortmund, had to leave the DFB team after only a short time due to thigh problems.
Who should storm against Japan for the Bundesliga top scorer, who was also one of the few players to convince at the World Cup in Qatar and even scored twice? Who should Flick put in the goal of the DFB team in the absence of regular goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who is still in rehab? And which defenders should form the defensive chain? In your opinion, who has only one bank place left?

We will present the results of the voting in good time before the game against Japan sport.de!
National coach Hansi Flick is starting the new 2023/24 season with the international match against Japan. Can the DFB team win against the World Cup shock this time, against whom there was a bitter 2-1 defeat in Qatar, which was the basis for the early elimination of the German team?
