 | In Bundestim: Things are already serious8-11-2017 |
Germany`s national team players gathered in Berlin today before Friday`s control against England in the classic Wembley clash in London eight months before the start of the World Cup in Russia. `It`s normal to accept this game as a preparation for the World Cup finals, ` said Bundestimal manager Oliver Birchhof.
The coach Joachim Loew has assembled a group of 25 players to check in the British capital and to host France four days later in Cologne. Mario Gotse from Borussia (Dortmund) and Ilkay Gundogan from Manchester City are coming back after the injuries, and Marcel Hallsteinberg from Riga (Leipzig) is coming back to the squad.
`We have an incredibly fantastic, broad set of footballers who can fit into the 2018 World Cup. So such bouts against such rivals are very important, and everyone should take it very seriously, ` Birchoff said. Meanwhile, some of the footballers took part in a promotional event in Berlin, where the new design of the team of the national junior team was presented, reminiscent of the T-shirts that the Bundestimm triumphed at the 1990 World Cup in Italy.
