Gündoğan and the DFB-Elf – but now really! – National team – football

If Thomas Müller and İlkay Gündoğan both play for the German national team on Tuesday (March 29th, 2022), which can be assumed, the calculation will work out smoothly. Then Gündoğan would have reached 56 international matches, Müller at 112, i.e. exactly double the number.

Thomas Müller has always played for FC Bayern in the senior division, he was rarely injured, but at least sorted out under national coach Joachim Löw.

Müller is also Müller

Müller was born in September 1989, Gündoğan a good 13 months later. This is also an explanation for the considerable difference in international matches, just like the station at 1. FC Nürnberg that Gündoğan headed for before he ended up at Borussia Dortmund and thus became interesting for the national team.

Müller is also Müller, and he always plays, as Louis van Gaal once said, who will be the opponent on Tuesday as coach of the Netherlands.

Somehow it can be deduced that Thomas Müller wore the national jersey twice as often. But there is also a Julian Draxler in the German squad, who was born in September 1993 and has already played 57 international matches. Timo Werner is 48, although he was only born in March 1996.

Well, they didn’t have Toni Kroos in front of them either, nor did they have Philipp Lahm, who switched from the outer defender positions to central midfield.

Formative under Pep Guardiola

There are already explanations why Gündoğan has never been a formative player in the German national team. On the other hand, he has been a regular player for several years now Manchester City under coach Pep Guardiola. At least when Kevin De Bruyne was out injured for a longer period of time, he was influential there too. İlkay Gündoğan is a top footballer, few would disagree.
