Former Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann interview with Kicker just keep taking odd turns.
Check out this excerpt captured by Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, which details Nagelsmann revealing that he has already decided to make a big cut from the squad:
🚨🧨 Julian #Nagelsmann announce @Kicker that popular regular starters at their clubs will NOT be nominated for the World Cup.
„In general, the biggest influencing factor you have as national coach is the squad selection. It’s about
who fits together.“
„There will be decisions – I can already reveal that now – which probably will NOT meet with great understanding. NOT from the player, but also NOT from the wider public. Because perhaps a player who is not planned to be in our starting XI is a regular starter and key performer at his club.”
⚠️ Who do you think he means?
The call-up sheet from November is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Noah Atubolu, Oliver Baumann, Alexander Nübel, Finn Dahmen
Defense: Waldemar Anton, Ridle Baku, Nathanial Brown, David Raum, Nico Schlotterbeck, Jonathan Tah, Malick Thiaw, Joshua Kimmich.
Midfield: Nadiem Amiri, Leon Goretzka, Felix Nmecha, Aleksander Pavlovic.
Attack: Jonathan Burkardt, Said El Mala, Leroy Sané, Kevin Schade, Nick Woltemade, Karim Adeyemi, Serge Gnabry, Jamie Leweling, Florian Wirtz.
It is very hard to pick someone who fits what Nagelsmann is describing, but who do you think he is talking about?
