World Cup spot? BVB star Beier dreams and gushes over Kovac | OneFootball

After a strong season with BVB, Maximilian Beier can dare to hope for the World Cup. The attacking player also spoke highly of coach Niko Kovac.

Maximilian Beier looks back on a successful season with Borussia Dortmund – and is now hoping for the next big reward. When national team coach Julian Nagelsmann announces his World Cup squad, the BVB attacker definitely wants to be part of it.

The 23-year-old believes he is in a good position after several strong weeks in black and yellow. “I hope that I can be optimistic because of my performances,” Beier said in an interview with kicker. Especially toward the end of the season, the Dortmund player was in strong form and recorded numerous goal contributions.

“I’ve played a lot in recent weeks, and often played well too. I’ve collected a lot of goal contributions and done everything I could so that hopefully I’ll be there on Thursday,” said the forward. As a precaution, he has not booked a summer vacation yet. At BVB, Beier recently impressed not only as a classic striker. The former Hoffenheim player was also used as a number ten and as a wing-back, among other roles, which helped him develop into a flexible option in attack.

“Over time, I’ve become more flexible and versatile, and I’m growing more and more comfortable with the position,” said the Germany international.

Beier also credits coach Niko Kovac with playing a major role in Dortmund’s positive development. After BVB had gone through a difficult spell at times, the coach found clear words internally. “He kicked our asses, to put it bluntly,” Beier said about Kovac. “That’s exactly what we needed at the time.”

He also said he gets on extremely well with his coach personally. “He talks to us a lot. Also with the young players who have recently come through,” Beier said in praise of the BVB coach. Alongside his hope of making the World Cup, the attacking player continues to pursue big goals with Borussia Dortmund. Beier has repeatedly made it clear that one day he would love to celebrate winning the league with BVB – ideally during a ride around Borsigplatz.
