Two Mainz footballers summoned for national duty - National team receives calls from two locals of Mainz
Germany's national squad, led by coach Julian Nagelsmann, has picked up two talented players from 1. FSV Mainz 05 for the upcoming Nations League matches against Italy. That's right, striker Jonathan Burkardt and midfielder Nadiem Amiri are joining the 23-man roster! 🇩🇪
Amiri, with tears of joy, shared his feelings about this glorious opportunity, "It's been ages since I played for the national team again. I've worked tirelessly every day to up my game. Getting the call from Bundestrainer Julian Nagelsmann on Tuesday was an uncontainable moment for me." The 28-year-old last donned the DFB jersey in the autumn of 2020.
Nagelsmann, a big fan of Mainz's talent, spoke highly of the team and their coach. "Bo Henriksen is a positive, eccentric coach, an inspiring figure," Nagelsmann emphasized. Having coached Amiri at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim previously, Nagelsmann added, "Nadiem is absolutely killing it in his season. It's a Cinderella story. He's a great guy who brings infectious energy."
Burkardt, with a remarkable 14 goals in the Bundesliga this season, is rightfully on Nagelsmann's list. "Jonny has been here before, and he's delivered. Given his goal-scoring rate, it's essential to nominate him. He's always a guy who gives his all," said Nagelsmann.
