Both, together with Jerome Boateng, dropped out of the national team in 2019 as part of a generational change. However, the Germans did not give adequate performances without experienced players, the highlight was the loss in the League of Nations on the soil of Spain 0: 6.

“We are 100% convinced of our decision, at the moment it was right. They will bring experience to the team, especially in difficult situations, “ he said Löw according to the dpa agency. The surprise in the team is the defender of Freiburg Christian Günter, who has played only one national team duel so far. “He has made great progress in performance and has improved in all directions,” justified his inclusion by Löw.
