Leon Goretzka returned to the German national team after a 16 -month break. During the first leg in the quarterfinals of the Nations League against Italy, the national coach Julian Nagelsmann relied on the Bayern midfielder in the starting eleven and previously declared his decision to recover the 30 -year -old after he was very disappointed last summer not to take into account the European Home Championship.
« He had no easy time with Bayern. He managed it well and plays a lot. This is why he is back. I already said that I did not want to contest his character. At that time, it was said that Goretzka was not a player from the bank. The national coach tried to classify this again: » There are people who are better suited to the first row – and there are more people who are more suits. I am not one for the second row either. Am I a bad person? »
A few days before the appointment, Goretzka had declared that he had had no contact with Nagelsmann so far, it had changed. The coach said there was a « very factual conversation » on the European championship. « It was also a question of talking to the things that disturbed him and those who perhaps disturbed me. » Now Goretzka has played his 58th international.
