Beier aims to win every match with BVB, but steers clear of title talk | OneFootball

Maximilian Beier is playing his second season at Borussia Dortmund. After BVB stumbled at the start of the Bundesliga in his first year, things are currently going better for Beier and his teammates. In an interview with Sky, he looks ahead to the upcoming match against Mainz, his personal goals at BVB, and his career with the national team.

The current upswing of Mainz 05 has not gone unnoticed by Maximilian Beier either. He warns of an opponent who is "currently in very good form." The fact that he has two good acquaintances from the national team, Nadiem Amiri and Paul Nebel, in the Mainz squad, who will be his opponents this evening, is, of course, irrelevant to him. For BVB, these are now "crucial weeks." Matches like today's against Mainz are the ones "you have to win if you want to achieve something."

However, Beier leaves open whether he is referring to the German championship. He will not be drawn into making such a bold statement again. Nevertheless, he makes it clear that he wants to win every one of the remaining games this season with BVB.

World Cup 2026: Beier wants to make a case for himself at BVB

It would be helpful for this goal if Beier continues to score, as he already has this new year, when he netted a goal against 1. FC Union Berlin and recently set up one of the three goals against 1. FC Heidenheim. This fact is currently making his job easier: "When you score, life is better."

Additionally, Beier is collecting arguments with coach Niko Kovac to be used more often. The striker wants to be in the starting eleven, wants to play every time. If the coach then decides for one of his teammates, that's his decision. But Beier wants to keep pushing with his performances to be included in every BVB match.

Regarding a possible participation with the German national team at the 2026 World Cup in Mexico, Canada, and the USA, Beier remains rather vague. After all, Beier was already part of the German Euro 2024 squad and even made a brief appearance in the group stage match against Switzerland. He wants to make a case for himself with national coach Julian Nagelsmann primarily through good performances at the club. "Of course," the 2026 World Cup is a goal. But for now, he is "focusing more on Borussia Dortmund and will play a successful, good season here."

For example, this evening at Signal Iduna Park against Mainz.
