Hopefully we see far more than in the World Cup this summer.
But for me, it was a normal progression that he will go through.
And that's why I'm really happy for him today that he showed some of his super skills in that friendly with Switzerland.
Well, I think they have, quality-wise, they have a good side, a side that can go far in this World Cup.
The question is, you know, how will the chemistry work?
Who are the leaders of this team?
When I watch them still today, I don't see, you know, who's the boss of that gang or who's the boss of the team.
And since Manuel Neuer said that he's not available anymore, you know, obviously they have now as a number one, they have Oliver Baumann there in goal.
yeah, on the international level, that's a different story is the goalkeeper of, uh, of Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga.
They have, they have the players to do, to do well, but, uh, um, yeah, I'm, I'm really curious to see if they have the desire, if they have, uh, the capability to suffer throughout the entire world cup, it's going to be a long world cup with five and a half weeks.
But a performance like today, you know, where you see a young Florian Wirtz, and we still, when we talk about Florian Wirtz, we don't have to forget that he's still very, very young.
It's not that he's around the block already for many, many years.
So it will be interesting to see how that hierarchy within that team will look like when they go into the tournament, who makes the calls on the field, especially on the field.
And then I think quality is there, especially attacking quality is strong.
When Musiala has come back, he didn't play today.
So once he's hopefully in full strength coming into that side, then they can hurt anybody in the World Cup.
Defensively, I saw a couple of issues today.
Obviously, he gave away three goals, but yeah, it will be interesting to see.
