Recently, in an interview with "ran.de", Hamann talked about the German team's employment choices for next year's World Cup.

He said: "I expect that starting in March, we will have a main lineup of 15 to 16 players who will participate in the last few warm-up games before the World Cup. By then, we need to see whether Musiala will return, or how Stiller will perform, because he was not selected this time. Nagels Man said that the door is not closed, because I will not be fooled by one game."

About Nmecha

"We see that if Nmecha stays healthy, he can be a key player for Germany."

About. Adeyemi's legal dispute

"This is a private matter that he needs to resolve with the Dortmund club. I can't comment on it, he has to know what he has to do. Our team lacks speed, so Adeyemi will naturally continue to be an important player."

About the prospects of the German team

"I think the German team is now in an expanded competitive circle, but if you look at the current state, it is definitely not the strongest competitor. However, this does not mean that the German team has no chance in the competition. We proved this in the 2002 World Cup, when we reached the finals all the way."
