STORY: Many new faces at the DFB on Monday at public training in Frankfurt am Main. National coach Hansi Flick has nominated several newcomers for the international matches against Peru on March 25 in Mainz and three days later in Cologne against Belgium. Among them Marius Wolf from Borussia Dortmund, Josha Vagnoman from VFB Stuttgart and Kevin Schade, who plays for FC Brentford in the English Premier League. Flick justified the nomination of the newcomers by saying that the squad had to be broader and that more alternatives were needed. “We’re happy with the squad we have now. If you then see which players are at home then you have to say that it can be a good team. And it’s clear that we Of course, we expect everyone who is on the pitch to be there with passion, but also with the conviction to, let’s say, represent the colors of Germany here. And I think if on If you can feel this passion on the pitch, then it also goes over to the fans.” The fans – Flick had also announced this – should get excited about the national team again through good and passionate football. Certainly not an easy task after the disappointing World Cup in Qatar. After all, 3,500 spectators had obtained a free ticket for the public training session in Frankfurt. And there were plenty of autographs and photos with the players.
