The development of former Union Berlin defender Nico Schlotterbeck also impressed his former Berlin manager Urs Fischer.
“He is playing it very solidly. He is a young player who is trying to learn, but he also has his opinion,” said Fischer before meeting on Sunday (17:30 / DAZN) with Schlotterbeck, who now plays for Borussia Dortmund. .
The 22-year-old had played for Union on loan from SC Freiburg in the 2020/21 season. After a successful season in Köpenick, he returned to Breisgau and joined the national team there. Schlotterbeck has a very good chance of being nominated for the World Cup in a few weeks in Qatar.
The move to Borussia Dortmund pushed Schlotterbeck again, Fischer said. “The mixture fits. With his teammates Mats Hummels and Niklas Süle, he can do a lot, “said the Swiss.
