9:49pm, 11 November 2025【Football】

Hupu News on November 10th The German team will face Luxembourg on November 14th and Slovakia on November 17th. German team coach Nagelsmann attended the press conference.

About this national team call-up:

"This selection is made out of belief. It is the result of a mixture of factors: ideally two players in each position, form, structure. Most importantly, I firmly believe that these players can perform in these two games 6 points to secure qualification for the World Cup."

About the qualifiers:

"After a very poor start in the qualifiers, we have now put ourselves in a good position. The players have just experienced a very intensive period of competition at the club. , have played a lot of games, it's not ideal, but we can't change that. We scored the goals we needed last month, but I don't think we were threatening enough offensively."

Regarding Karl, and whether we plan to. Calling him up before the World Cup:

"In general, I have always emphasized that I don't like to oversell young players too early. I value maintaining transparent communication with the players. There are Said Mara and Lennart Carr, and other talented young players. They The characteristics of the two are different. We don't have many typical wingers who are good at dribbling inside. But first, he has to go through the U21 national team and prove himself there that he can play an important role. A goal every player deserves. It's too early for him to get more playing time in the Bundesliga."

About Schloterbeck:

"It doesn't look good for the team doctors to check it out. How the situation develops."

On Sane's selection:

"He still doesn't meet my requirements in terms of his statistics. If we have 6 or 7 players with the same characteristics as him, it will be more difficult for him to be selected. I have a very good communication with Sane and he knows. What I ask of him. He doesn't have many chances to prove himself here, I've told him that frankly. He just needs to do everything he can and that's why he gets another chance in Europe. His statistics in the Champions League and Turkish Super League have improved, but he still needs to do better."

On the importance of Bayern players in the national team:

"I have always said that the national team coach relies on the good condition and mental outlook of the Bayern players. , very important for us. We need this spirit in the national team as well, especially the game in Paris was very impressive until the red card. It would be good if they can bring the same intensity to the national team."

About. Wirtz's form at Liverpool:

"I will communicate with Wirtz no matter what situation he is in. If you look at the club he is in, it is indeed a very complex and difficult situation. Last season they won the Premier League and played very attractive football. This year some players left and they also invested a lot in new signings. So the overall combination is very complicated - five attacking players all want to be the 'core players', and this situation is not easy for Wirtz because the whole club is not as stable as last season. I think In their game against Manchester City, they were the weaker side throughout the game. In such an environment, it is not easy for Wirtz to show his influence. We also saw that many players will encounter difficulties after moving to a new team with greater changes. In the end, I can't influence him in Liverpool. Pu's performance can only affect his performance in the national team. I think he has taken steps in the right direction in October. We all know his ability and it is normal for him to have a brief decline in form."

About Tell. Stegen's situation:

"I had a long phone call with him last week. He is in good shape and that is the most important thing. I think the winter transfer period is never easy. I did not say he had to play for a top club - the most important thing is that he plays. , whether at a top club or not. The situation is not easy and we have to watch his health and fitness. Ter Stegen is a very good goalkeeper and I believe he can find a good solution and get stable playing time."
