DFB: Thomas Müller is amazed at Chris Führich’s development

Stuttgart player before international debut

Bayern veteran Thomas Müller is currently particularly amazed at a newcomer to the national team. Chris Führich from Stuttgart is so self-confident in training on the trip to the USA that the Munich player is also impressed. “I was surprised that a player like Chris Führich hasn’t made the leap into the limelight more quickly,” said Müller in Foxborough and didn’t mean that as criticism. On the contrary.

“I have to ask him how his career has been so far, because a player with so much wit and agility, with good shooting technique, can only show his potential regularly at Stuttgart in his mid-20s,” Müller explained his observation. The 25-year-old Führich impressed with good performances in the surprise runner-up in the Bundesliga this season and was rewarded by the new national coach Julian Nagelsmann with the first DFB nomination for the A team. An international debut against the USA on Saturday (9:00 p.m./RTL) or afterwards against Mexico is quite possible.

Nagelsmann already emphasized that Führich currently has exceptionally good “momentum”. The technically adept offensive player moved from SC Paderborn to VfB Stuttgart in 2021. “I didn’t plan that much, I didn’t expect that much, I was just looking forward to being here,” said Führich after the first days of training with the national team.
