In the wake of triumph: Stiller declines to conform to DFB's forecast - Post-Triumphant Cup Victory, Stiller Avoids DFB's Forecast
In a decisive turn of events, Angelo Stiller, the 24-year-old midfielder for VfB Stuttgart, remained circumspect about future title attacks following his instrumental role in securing the club's DFB Cup victory. Despite his Lord's-of-the-Ring-like comeback, less than two weeks after sustaining a ligament injury in his right foot, Stiller declined to predict his participation in the upcoming Nations League final tournament with the German national team, slated for early June.
Following his heroic performance in the 4-2 victory against Arminia Bielefeld at the Berlin Olympic Stadium, an elated Stiller merely wished to celebrate. ignoring speculation about his availability for the DFB team's UEFA Nations League semi-final against Portugal on June 4 (9 p.m. CEST, ZDF). The Nationals' potential opponents in the final four days later could be Spain or France.
National coach Julian Nagelsmann had already nominated Stiller for the squad, highlighting his crucial contributions to the Swabians' victory, despite the injury concerns looming over the season's finale. Stiller, who played for 87 minutes before being substituted late, demonstrated his resilience with two decisive assists.
Queried about the status of his foot after the exertion, Stiller's response was succinct: "Irrelevant." Admittedly, the return was not entirely seamless, as he felt the injury's effects from the 60th minute onward, a period marked by increasing physical demands. However, his determination to win outweighed any discomfort.
The German national team finds themselves in a critical juncture, weighing the potential benefits of Stiller's undeniable talents against the risk of reinjury. With Stiller reportedly attracting interest from top European clubs like Liverpool and Real Madrid, his future with the national team continues to draw attention—his standout performances in the DFB Cup final underlining his quality and mental fortitude, traits that could significantly bolster Germany's midfield in the eyes of selectors.
