Ter Stegen y Rüdiger, representatives of LaLiga en la ‘Team’
MADRID, 10 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The German national coach, Hansi Flick, announced this Thursday the squad list for the Qatar World Cup, in which they will face Spain in the group stage, with the presence of veterans such as Thomas Müller and Manuel Neuer and also youth and fresh air.
Finally, players such as Niclas Füllkrug (Werder Bremen) and Youssoufa Moukoko (Borussia Dortmund) entered the list, who would debut with the senior team, as opposed to the 118 and 113 calls for Müller and Neuer, respectively.
Manuel Neuer will share the goal with the Blaugrana Marc-André ter Stegen and with Kevin Trapp, in the most experienced and veteran line of all. In defense is Antonio Rüdiger (Real Madrid), who together with Ter Stegen make up the scarce representation of LaLiga on the list.
Along with the white defender, the most international of the entire defensive line call, there will be other weighty players in the national team such as Matthias Ginter or Niklas Süle alongside young people or ‘new’ faces such as Christian Günter, Armel Bella Kotchap or Nico Schlotterbeck.
On the other hand, veterans such as Mats Hummels (35 years old, Borussia Dortmund) are absent, due to a technical decision, just like his partner Emre Can. As for casualties due to injury, of men who could have gone, there are Marco Reus (also from Dortmund) or Timo Werner (Leipzig).
In the core, names such as Mario Götze (Frankfurt), Ilkay Gündogan (Manchester City), Leon Goretzka (Bayern Munich) or Kai Havertz (Chelsea) stand out, with wingers of the stature of Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sané (Bayern Munich ).
And, up front, a lot of freshness in the legs of the versatile Karim Adeyemi (Borussia Dortmund), Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich) or the newcomers Füllkrug and Moukoko, together with the veteran of Thomas Müller who attends his last great appointment with the ‘Mannschaft’.
