Julian Nagelsmann Reacts to Leon Goretzka’s Call-Up to Germany National Team

Speaking during a recent press conference, he said:

The crucial point for every player is our sporting assessment: Does he deserve to be there or not? And then, after this sporting assessment, there are always a few other topics. I think Leon is having a very good phase from a sporting perspective; he’s had a very good season, and I think he’s also developed well in some areas.Julian Nagelsmann

He further added:

He had a very difficult phase at Bayern, just as he did with us on the national team. He fought his way out of it well. He’s playing a key role. He’s found a good balance between being an attacking goal threat and also playing well in the build-up play. In general, he fits the idea of ​​how we want to play very well.Julian Nagelsmann

Negalsmann further said:

I'm extremely happy that he'll be back here on Monday, and he'll be extremely happy too. The national team is something very special for him, and I'm certain he will perform well for us as well.Julian Nagelsmann

Goretzka is an experienced player who has previously worked with Nagelsmann at Bayern Munich and for Germany. His presence could add some steel to Germany's midfield in the Nations League games against Italy.
