Germany's future: Matthäus would back these BVB stars | OneFootball

In recent years, Borussia Dortmund have repeatedly had several players in the Germany national team squad. At the World Cup, Waldemar Anton and Nico Schlotterbeck were among those called up, although the latter was injured in the second match.

Felix Nmecha was also one of the players who managed to attract attention. The midfielder delivered two outstanding performances in particular at the start.

After the early exit at the World Cup, the question now surrounding the Germany national team is what exactly comes next. Mainly on a personnel level.

Jürgen Klopp is now expected to take over. It is not yet finalized, but everything points in that direction. There will also be changes to the squad under Klopp, that is beyond question. If Lothar Matthäus has his way, Dortmund stars will play a role as well.

Schlotterbeck and Nmecha are two players he would definitely consider part of the core of the German national team. Matthäus explained this in his column in Sport BILD.

Matthäus also voiced criticism: “Basically, for ten years it was neglected to consistently develop young German players toward world-class level with the right content and to train them for the German national team.”

Matthäus also made an appeal to Bundesliga clubs. “I understand every Bundesliga club that fills key positions with the best possible players in order to be successful. But those players often come from abroad. Italy has the same problem, with even more fatal consequences: the Italians missed the last three World Cups completely,” said the record international.

The rebuilding process at the DFB must therefore begin soon and be implemented across the board. That includes players who are under contract with BVB. And who knows, maybe Karim Adeyemi could also come back into the picture.
