Mika Biereth’s goal rate this year is reminiscent of a video game. Development: The striker is still without an international game-and could solve many problems for national coach Nagelsmann.
Eight league games, ten goals, three triple packs: the statistical proof of performance of Mika Biereth’s first weeks at AS Monaco is reminiscent of the young Erling Haaland. When he came to Borussia Dortmund in January 2020, however, he “only” scored nine goals in the same period.
This comparison shows that the 22-year-old Dane is struck like a meteorite in top European football-almost out of nowhere and with full force. The German national team could soon be the same. Because: attacker Biereth could also compete for the German Football Association (DFB)-and national coach Julian Nagelsmann and the association thus get rid of a major problem of the future.
Highly agreed center forward such as the approximately 1.87 meter beer meterh are rare in German football – especially at that age. Stuttgart’s Deniz Undav (28 years) and Gladbacher Tim Kleindienst (29) have recently developed massively, but are approaching the age of 30.
So is the solution to the Biereth’s vertical starters and may they be appointed to the German team for the first for the first time on Thursday for the international matches against Italy? So far, the DFB has not commented on T-Online request.
That doesn’t seem excluded. However, it is more likely that Biereth will cover the jersey of the Danish A team promptly. Because for “Danish Dynamit” he already ran into the youth teams eleven times and was even captain. However, the lanky blond head offer diverse possibilities.
His father has Danish and German, his mother Bosnian roots. Because he was born in London, four national teams would be considered for Biereth. Even in increasingly globalized professional football, he is an exception.
Since his goal quota has also become an exception, London, born in London, has been increasingly confronted with the topic. “I did not think that these questions would be asked so quickly-but it seems to be that way,” said the 22-year-old a few days ago: “If you convince in the club, the topic of national team comes up.
His club coach is mediocre of the vertebrae for the supposed new miracle striker. Monaco’s Bundesliga-experienced coach Adi Hütter regularly praises Biereth’s appearances as “impressive”, but also conjures up working calmly. “Nobody lifts off here,” repeats Hütter mantra -like.
That would be easier if the media interest in the multicultural attacker had not felt like it was overturned. One reason: Biereth puts another Scandinavian in the shadow, whose name also makes the headlines after the end of the career. Zlatan Ibrahimović.
