Title: German U17 Team Shines with Bayern Stars, Hoping for World Cup Success
Will our young guns outdo their 2017 European Championship victory on World Cup Wednesday?
With a victory against New Zealand scheduled for 1 pm (Sky Sport News), the German U17 squad, led by coach Christian Wück (50), finds themselves on the brink of qualifying for the round of 16 at the Junior World Cup taking place in Indonesia. The team's impressive 3-1 victory over Mexico in their opening game bodes well for their future matches.
Formidable Presence of Bayern's Rising Talents
German record champions Bayern Munich are providing a quartet of exceptional German youth prospects in this tournament, none more evident than Max Schmitt (1), who boasts an unforgettable summer as part of the European Championship triumph. While Schmitt was relegated to the bench in Thomas Tuchel's (50) Champions League clash against Manchester United and the DFB Cup in Münster, he's made two impressive appearances for Bayern II.
U19 coach, Michael Hartmann (49), commends Schmitt's strength in one-on-one situations, attributing his success to the European Championship. A true Munich native, Schmitt also dazzled in goal for the local rivals 1860 before his 2017 switch to Bayern. Interestingly, backup goalkeeper Konstantin Heide (17) hails from Unterhaching.
Ramsak, Bayern's Precocious Striker
Central forward Robert Ramsak (24), the league's top scorer with 24 goals in 29 games last season, turned heads at the U17 European Championship with his remarkable scoring streak, netting four times. Known for his tireless work ethic and speed, Ramsak is a vital asset to the Bayern U19 team, having scored six goals in 13 games.
Hartmann boasts of Ramsak's prowess, praising his ability to translate chances into goals and his team-first attitude. Though Ramsak may find himself on the bench once again, his enthusiasm for contributing to the team's success will remain unwavering.
Maximilian Hennig, Attacking Left-Back
Radiating footballing intelligence, Maximilian Hennig surpassed expectations at the U17 European Championship, making two appearances. Hennig's Bayern journey started back in 2014, and the talented left-back excels in attack, displaying a sound attitude.
Rüger, Versatile Midfielder with Boosted Morale
A key midfielder since joining Bayern in 2020, the triumphant Kurt Rüger (16) boasted three goals and two assists during the current campaign. Although he was injured, he was surprisingly named to the U17 World Cup squad while competing in his first-ever U17 international game. His adaptable playing style, seasoned technique, and blistering speed have garnered widespread praise from Hartmann.
As the German U17 team gears up for their match against New Zealand, optimism abounds that these prodigious players complemented by the Bayern Munich pedigree will propel them to new heights and potentially improve upon their 2017 European Championship victory.
