DFB: U21 in the EM dilemma for the World Cup-World-Yousoufa Moukoko outside

Restructured squad

The German national team U21 must plan the European championship finals in summer without a series of tournament candidates such as the Dortmund striker Maximilian Beier (22) and the future professional of Bayern Tom Bischof (19). « I would like to use these two caps to play with the players who are the most likely they will be there in summer, » said national coach Antonio Di Salvo.

In the last official international matches before the European Championship final from June 11 to 28, the U21 will play against the tournament host in Slovakia on Friday (6 p.m./Prosieben Maxx) in Trnava. Tuesday (8:30 p.m./Sat.1) Next week in Darmstadt, the test will follow against the title of favorite in Spain.

For Di Salvo, who extended his two -year contract on July 31, 2027, the tournament’s summer plans are much more difficult. There, FC Bayern Munich, to whom the bishop of Hoffenheim changes, will compete, Beiers Dortmunder Borussia and Red Bull Salzburg. There are several candidates for U21 in all executives.

Totally difficult situation for DFB Juniors through the Club World Cup

« How should I be neutral when I still have the U21 European Championship in mind? » “I personally think that a competition was pushed in who does not make the players. The development of (Site notre bureau spécialisé) is « in a direction that is not good for players ».

The new club World Cup can of course be « interesting » and is much more positive in other countries than in Germany. « I believe there will be certain enthusiasm, » said Di Salvo, who cannot understand him personally because of the calendar of the two tournaments. « Logically, the team naturally weakens it – but these are things that I cannot change now. » It is « a new situation that is completely difficult, you must really say it. »

Diva Salvo stressed that players would be in a « dilemma ». « You look forward to the U21 European Championship », the coach took conversations with him, but the club World Cup was « also interesting for you ». « Maxi stands between chairs like many other players, » said Di Salvo at Beier’s. However, there are no final decisions. « We are in constant exchange with clubs and players, » said Di Salvo. « Let’s see what will happen until summer. »

He has « the hope of having one or the other available player, » said coach U21. « If there is a way to bring the maxi Beier to the European championship, then of course I will. Unlike Beier and Co., Jonas Urbig (21), who recently represented the injured manual Neuer (38) in the Munich goal, is in the current contingent U21. He and the Freiburg Noah Autuboli (22) are fighting for the number one status on the U21.

Heidenheimer Paul Wanner (19), who is also a candidate for two tournaments as a Bayern loan player, is also nominated. « It is not going well yet, it is cold and, in all likelihood, it will not be available for the first match, » said Di Salvo. « We always see day by day if it is logical that it is an option for us for the second match. » Jens Castrop (21, 1. FC Nürnberg) is also questionable due to a disease.

Moukoko threatens to miss the European U21 championship

The absence of Youssoufa Moukoko (20), which is borrowed from BVB from OGC Nice, does not have to do with the World Cup or the health of the club, but with sporting reasons. « Unfortunately, it is true that he gets very little to play, » said Di Salvo. Moukoko was the last on the field for five minutes on February 5 in the cupache final when Nice embarrassed at the club of the fourth Stade Briochin (1-2).

If, in 22 missions, if it was only 37 minutes on the field in 22 missions, nothing would change, it would be « of course not easier to jump on the train of the European championship, » said Di Salvo. « We have players who are in the rhythm with us. » The principle of performance is now more in the foreground than in the past, « when it has marked many objectives for us ». There are two goals and models for Nice, for whom U21 only met Moukoko once in the last five international games.

« It will be decisive in which the constitution is: there is logically an option.
