Ridle Baku is one of two deleted players in the DFB squad. For Didi Hamann, the disregard of the Wolfsburg is “incomprehensible”.
Dietmar Hamann has criticized national coach Hansi Flick for not considering Ridle Baku from Wolfsburg for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers for the German national team. “For me that is incomprehensible,” said the TV expert on Saturday Sky.
“He is 23 years old and scored a great goal in Hoffenheim last week. He also played well in the Champions League during the week. It has been a meteoric rise since he joined the first team in Mainz three years ago.” , emphasized Hamann.
Baku developed wonderfully in Wolfsburg and is a serious option for the right-wing defense in the national team. “That’s why I’m very surprised,” said Hamann.
Flick on Baku waiver: “Don’t have to go on an unnecessary trip”
There was a bit of a hustle and bustle around Baku during the last retirement phase when Flick sent the player back to Wolfsburg after the first of a total of three qualifying games.
Im kicker (Monday edition, editor’s note) Flick now explains his decision. “I had spoken to his trainer Mark van Bommel and also to sports director Marcel Schäfer about Baku. Both of them thought it was good that we talked about the situation openly. They also found it sensible and right not to take him with us so that he would not make an unnecessary trip I have to, but can train at home in the club instead. Everything was communicated properly. “
Hamann: “Maximilian Arnold should have come to the EM”
In his criticism of the current nomination of the national coach, Hamann also made a strong case for a second Wolfsburg player: “Maximilian Arnold, who has been doing outstanding performances in Wolfsburg for two seasons, is not there either. For me he should have come to the European Championship and now both players are in the squad. “
Hamann had already requested Arnold’s appointment in the recent past. Unlike his teammate Baku, who was recently allowed to wear the DFB jersey twice, Arnold has been waiting for a nomination for over seven years. Before the 2014 World Cup, Arnold was allowed to play in a better B team in a test match against Poland for 13 minutes.
