After it was said on Wednesday that Niklas Süle reacted harshly when he found out that he was not considered for the current international phase, it has now transpired that his club Borussia Dortmund is also irritated by the decision of national coach Hansi Flick. Apparently things are brewing at BVB.
BVB defender Niklas Süle is not allowed to take part in the German national soccer team’s upcoming friendlies against the Ukraine (June 12), Poland (June 16) and Colombia (June 20).
The Dortmund top performer of the past season found out on the phone from national coach Hansi Flick that he was not considered for the DFB squad. As “Bild” reported on Wednesday, the defender was “upset and disappointed”.
Süle is obviously not alone with this reaction. As “Bild” learned and reported on Thursday, Flick not only called the player to inform him, but also called BVB coach Edin Terzic.
The conversation is said to have (also) been about the national coach expecting an increase in performance from Süle and therefore leaving him out for the time being.
A circumstance that was apparently not well received by the runner-up. It is said that BVB is “seething” because of the non-consideration of the defender, who came to BVB from FC Bayern in summer 2022, gave the defense new stability and in the season report of sport.de received the grade 2.0 for his good performance.
BVB bosses surprised at Süle’s waiver
Accordingly, there is “misunderstanding and irritation” among the Dortmunders internally. The BVB bosses “difficulty understand” the waiver of Süle according to “Bild” information.
Flick had previously sent Süle a clear message. The train for a nomination for the home EM 2024 has not yet left, but the 27-year-old has to do more to become a factor in the DFB team again.
“I think he’s leaving a lot behind. I want him to take a step forward in terms of his attitude, his mentality. For me, Niki could be one of the best central defenders there are. His potential is huge,” he said National coach following the non-nomination of the routiner of the “FAZ”.
