Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck is glad to be back playing for the German national team and one of the benefits for the 25-year-old is being able to team up with Bayern Munich center-back
Jonathan Tah.
“He’s very communicative on the pitch. He’s been an extremely strong defender for years and has done very well. I’ve known him for years, we played a few games together. I’m always happy to play alongside him. I think we complement each other well. For me the build-up with the ball is probably a bit more interesting than for him, while he probably defends better than me — so we actually fit well together,” Schlotterbeck said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Schlotterbeck and Tah are expected to start vs. Northern Ireland and further build that partnership.
Bayern Munich is in the midst of some downtime, but the German national team and the news cycle has kept us busy at Bavarian Football Works and Bavarian Podcast Works.
We’ve got some hot topics to cover, so let’s get down to it. This is what we have on tap for this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works Show:
- German got off to a good start vs. Luxembourg, so what else does the team need to show in another winnable match vs. Northern Ireland?
- Dayot Upamecano really might have dug in with Bayern Munich as the Frenchman is reportedly unwilling to budge from his contractual demands. Should fans be worried?
- Fabrizio Romano says Dušan Vlahović and Bayern Munich really could be a thing.
- Alphonso Davies talks through his rehab and why the worst is behind him.
- Thomas Müller had another game winner for the Vancouver Whitecaps and will be a pundit for the World Cup. Not a bad week, eh?
