Müller and Boateng surprise
Löw victims support DFB decision
Joachim Löw remains a national coach and therefore, as recent statements by the DFB can be interpreted, it is unlikely that Thomas Müller and Jérôme Boateng will return to the national team. The two best FC Bayern players take it very easy.
Returning to the German soccer team is not a problem for Thomas Müller. That’s “in the phase we’re in, a long way off,” said the former world champion FC Bayern Munich after the top game against RB Leipzig on Saturday night on Sky (3: 3). Müller had scored two goals and then noted that the next international matches would not take place until March.
“I’m trying to help the team I’m on the pitch with,” said the 31-year-old, who was selected by national coach Joachim Löw along with Jérôme Boateng and Mats Hummels in March 2019. That works well. “You can discuss everything else up and down as you like,” Müller said. “I’ll stick with that and then we’ll see.”
The Bayern striker only assessed the German Football Association’s decision that Löw remains the national coach indirectly. “This is news that the DFB has decided as well, so all Germans must support this decision and do everything possible to ensure that things work again and with Joachim Löw we are going to make things work again.”
“I’m happy that Jogi can continue”
More recently, Jérôme Boateng, as Müller resolved in 2019 with no prospect of returning to the national team, had sent similar signals: “I am happy that Jogi can continue. He has earned this trust in him in the past,” the defender said. of the record German soccer champions against the newspaper “Bild”.
The DFB had previously expressed its confidence in Löw despite the historic 6-0 defeat in Spain and stated: “The national coach’s assessment of which subsequent tournaments, specifically the Qatar 2022 World Cup and the 2024 European Championship, will be will play in our own country, it also received approval – as sporting prospects and goals should already play a role in other sporting and personal considerations at this time. ” The DFB Presidium also “agreed to continue the path of renewal of the national team with national coach Joachim Löw, which has been taken since March 2019,” he said in a message on Monday. Part of the path was also constantly sticking to the elimination of world champions Boateng, Müller and Hummels.
Müller and Hummels, in particular, had come forward strongly in recent months, DFB captain Manuel Neuer had announced the trio’s return in an unusually outspoken manner: “I don’t want to emphasize one of the three named: all the players could basically help us, they have that proven quite often, “Neuer said in an interview with” Sport Bild “, even before the debacle against Spain. Löw had said at least in early November on “Kicker” that he would rethink “alternative scenarios” if “a completely new situation” arises, but before that he clearly said: “We basically decided not to nominate these players, that has not changed now. “.
