The national team’s trip to the USA is still not generating any enthusiasm in the Bundesliga. FC Bayern points out the hardships. A national player is surprised by the kick-off time.
Shortly before the start of the national soccer team’s trip to the USA, FC Bayern criticized the high level of stress on its stars.
“I find it very unfortunate. Firstly, the strain of travel. Our boys are on the road all the time anyway,” said sports director Christoph Freund after Munich’s 3-0 win in the Bundesliga against SC Freiburg.
Such a trip is not what one wants – especially since the European Championships are taking place in Germany, said Freund. There would certainly be reasons for the trip, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be from a sporting perspective.
The new national coach Julian Nagelsmann is traveling to the USA with the German national team for a week and a half. The DFB entourage around returnee Mats Hummels flies from Frankfurt am Main to Boston at midday. After arriving in the afternoon (local time), we go straight to our first accommodation in Foxborough.
Goretzka “absolutely ready”
He was “absolutely ready,” said returnee Leon Goretzka. “Of course this trip is extreme. I’ve never experienced anything like that before.” At DAZN he was critical of the kick-off time. “What I personally find extremely unfortunate is that the second game is at 2 a.m. German time. You can’t really understand that,” said the midfielder. Goretzka was not included in Hansi Flick’s last international matches, but is now back in the squad.
Despite the unfavorable trip in the middle of the season, Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel refrained from further criticism: “You have to remain fair overall. Every national coach now brings in the best players. These are the few phases where secondments are possible. The The trip was decided with those responsible from the Bundesliga and the clubs.” He had no contact with Nagelsmann, but that was fine. “He doesn’t have to take us into consideration. We can’t expect that.”
