Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlović wants to see Germany regain confidence of fans

Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlović is eager to see how the German national team will do in its World Cup qualifier vs. Luxembourg.

“We’re up for it and want to show what we’re capable of. We just have to play our football and have fun doing it — wait until a gap opens up. You have to be patient. We’re in a situation where we have to give everything, and that’s what we’ll do. We want to give it our all so that we can convince the fans and everyone else,” told Sky Germany (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).

Pavlović is competing for playing time with Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, and Angelo Stiller. Any minutes he gets against Luxembourg could go a long way in helping him earn a starting role at the World Cup next summer.

The Germany national team is up once again and has two very winnable matches on its slate for the October international break against both Luxembourg and Northern Ireland.

Julian Nagelsmann will not be operating with a full roster thanks to injuries and illnesses, but this should give him a chance to further make his mind up on several players who are on the bubble for the 2026 World Cup.

Let’s get into all of the key discussions. This is what we have on tap for this version of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Preview Show:

• Taking a look at the latest roster for Germany, including the illnesses that have recently felled some key players.
• What positional battles should we keep an eye on?
• Is Julian Nagelsmann going to end up on the hot seat because he tinkers too much?
• Is Nico Schlotterbeck going to take this time to seize a starting role?
• Predictions on each match.
