. . World News – African Union – Mayer confused about Germany’s decision to overlook Mueller as he congratulates Neuer before winning the records | Goal. Com

Sepp Mayer admitted to being baffled by Germany’s decision to overlook Thomas Muller, Mats Hummels and Jerome Boateng, while Manuel Neuer before that congratulated his record cap.

Joachim Law was even more surprised when he announced his decision to drop a seasoned trio from Germany’s squad in March 2019..

Muller, Hummels and Boateng, who all played for Bayern Munich at the time, were told in no uncertain terms that their football career was over, despite having played nearly 250 international matches between them.. .

Low’s intention was to enter the next generation of talent in Germany after relegating from the top flight in the Nations League, but this bold move has yet to reap any tangible rewards..

Although Die Mannschaft managed to secure their place in Euro 2021, they are a long way from the strong defensive team that lifted the World Cup in Brazil in 2014. .

There was a lot of clamor for Hummels, who returned to Borussia Dortmund last summer, and Boateng to be called, while Mueller’s impressive performance with Bayern also made him tied for a return to the international fold..

Low has ruled out the possibility of welcoming the three men again into his squad, which Meyer does not understand given the few experienced players in Germany’s current squad..

“There are many young and interesting players. In my opinion, you need the right mix of young and old, « Germany legend told Jules and Spokes .

“For me, I can’t get around players like Mats Hummels, Jerome Boateng and Thomas Muller, they only belong to the team and that is why I understand the discussions [from former players and fans] about not taking them into account..

« If you want to win titles, you need experienced players, real leaders – especially on defense.. When we became world champions in 1974, we were on average about 28 years old.

« I think we’re missing some old hands on the current team who are leading the way.

Meyer will see Neuer smash his record as the best goalkeeper in German history when he does not know Bayern Munich. . Line 1 against Spain in a scheduled match in the Nations League on Tuesday evening.

The former Die Mannschaft goalkeeper insists that the outstanding achievement is a fair reward in the longevity of the 34-year-old at the highest level in the game, and that he never expected his mark to remain for long. .

“After 41 years, it is finally time for someone to catch up with me! I called Manuel Neuer after the match against Ukraine to congratulate him,” Meyer added..

“I can just raise my hat for him, he absolutely deserves this record because he was the undisputed number one in the national team and the best goalkeeper in the world for many years.

« Most likely, Oliver would have already hunted me if Jürgen Klinsmann had not deceived him at the time..
