And the outgoing Talent Development coach of Borussia Dortmund appeared to be impressed with these players, saying the technical team made a good choice to hand young players call ups.

Assessing attitude of players training in rain, he said, “Not really impressed but may be surprised a little bit. I didn’t expect this, especially with the young players play at a high level, really, really good. I think we made a good choice in bringing them into the camp”

“We are already preparing for the future and this is really, really good to see that the young guys coming up are knocking on the door to enter the national team. The players who have been there for a longer time have to be aware because the young guys are hungry, they are good, they are developing and like I said this what will make us all better”
