The national team must play against North Macedonia on Wednesday.

National coach Joachim Löw and Ilkay Gündogan came to the PK in advance.

The most important statements for reading.

>>> UPDATE <<<

1:28 p.m.:

That's it for the PK.

There is still official information from DFB press spokesman Jens Grittner: The second test immediately before the EM will take place on June 2nd - it's against Denmark.

The venue is still unclear.

The dress rehearsal on June 7th in Düsseldorf against Latvia was already fixed.

The training camp is to begin in Seefeld on May 25th.

On June 10th it goes to Herzogenaurach.

One of the most important statements of the Löw-PK: Marc-André ter Stegen will be in the gate on Wednesday.

The German substitute keeper moves between the posts for Manuel Neuer (see 13:02).

Also: Wouldn't Pep Guardiola be a good candidate for the national coaching post?

Ilkay Gündogan had to laugh at this crazy suggestion (see 12.40 p.m.).

1:26 p.m.:

Löw on Younes and his EM chances: "I'm glad he's with us.

During training, he ensures that joy arises.

It creates a stir.

Technically in a confined space - that's where he has great abilities.

I can't say whether he'll play from the start tomorrow.

In this position he has competition for the European Championship - I have not written off Draxler and Brandt.

How does someone play, how often does someone play?

That is crucial for the next two months.

I also think highly of Draxler and Brandt and am also convinced of their skills. "

1:21 p.m .:

Löw on Reus: "It was a bad foul, he even had a bit of luck in the misfortune.

It was clear that Marco couldn't play the three games with us, he couldn't train.

How it goes on?

We'll see.

You have to wait and see the next two months - is he fit, is he healthy?

You know that Marco is an outstanding footballer.

The prerequisite is a high level of physical fitness. "

1:19 p.m .:

Löw about his successor: “I haven't been asked about it yet and I haven't commented on it internally either.

That’s not an issue now that I’m talking to players about succession.

That’s a long way off, we have other things to do.

I once said to Fritz Keller: It's good to listen to the team.

Our players have a lot of experience and think about coaches.

It may be that it was done - but I wouldn't be interested in it these days either. "

1:17 p.m .:

Löw on Sané: “When he started at Bayern in the summer, he was injured for a long time.

In these two games it was now obvious that he had extremely good moments on the defensive.

Back in pace, in general switching - he won four or five balls against Iceland, including Romania.

He has clearly taken a step forward.

In a few moments it was top notch. "

1:16 p.m.:

Löw about Neuer, the captain's question and Wirtz: “Manuel will stay with the team here.

Ilkay Gündogan will be the captain if he starts from the start.

I can't tell Florian Wirtz yet whether he's playing.

Like Jamal Musiala, he makes a very good impression in the game.

Does he play?

I can not promise anything."

Löw-PK in the live ticker: National coach surprised at Kroos criticism

1:13 p.m.:

Löw about possible doubts about Toni Kroos: “I can't judge where that comes from.

This is not an issue internally.

He is still world class and has a wealth of experience.

I don't think you have to discuss it all the time.

Why should we talk now about who has a regular place at the EM?

You never play a tournament with the same team.

There was always someone missing - Kimmich, Goretzka or Gündogan.

But we won't doubt the quality of Toni Kroos now, will we?

There is no question that he can do well to any team. "

1:11 p.m.:

Löw on his central defense Rüdiger-Ginter: “We have some players who are pushing to play at the European Championship.

Niki Süle was injured, but he played for us all the time.

Robin Koch made great progress with us and at club level over the past year.

He has enormous potential.

We had problems last year, but not only in defense.

It's also about coordination in attack and in midfield.

That works better now.

You also have to say: So far we haven't had the caliber to play for the title at the European Championships.

So far we have not been challenged to the utmost. "

1:09 p.m.:

Löw about Gosens' future: “At the moment I haven't talked to him about a change.

Last year it was.

He said that he felt comfortable in Bergamo, but of course he could imagine a next step.

But it just has to fit.

He did very well in Italy.

And he's of great quality - especially offensively.

It is remarkable that he scores so many goals. "

13:06:

Löw on the previous games: “We have made a few things a lot better.

I like the basic team structure.

I have the feeling that we are very compact.

We won balls back early.

That means: Less space for the opponent, no long ways back.

Most of the time we have a good floor plan, we created a lot of chances, we played out well under pressure - those are some things that could be seen. "

13:04:

Löw about his last months at the DFB: "Wistfulness doesn't resonate.

I am not dealing with this situation.

Now I dedicate all my energy to the game tomorrow and then to the European Championship. ”Löw continues about the opponent:“ I dealt with North Macedonia last night.

I had the feeling that they were washed up.

They are no worse than the Romanians.

It will be a show of strength. "

DFB: Substitute goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen is in goal against North Macedonia

13:02:

Löw on the line-up: “Robin Gosens had a longer break.

We have to see how far he is in terms of strength.

Regarding the lineup: I would like to wait for the final training.

We'll use Marc-André ter Stegen in goal, we've discussed that.

Everyone knows.

There is still no decision on Timo Werner. "

1 p.m .:

Now it's on with Jogi Löw!

“We returned to the hotel just before 5am on Monday.

So regeneration was the order of the day.

The players have scheduled their program in the hotel.

Everyone survived the game well, and Robin Gosens can also attend the final training session today.

That is very positive news. "

12:59 p.m.:

That's it from Ilkay Gündogan.

The city star once again made an extremely personable impression - in his statements he appeared extremely reflective and mature.

This is one of the reasons why he should be indispensable for Jogi Löw at the EM.

DFB-PK: Gündogan with special praise for Havertz and Can - City-Star plays football manager in the room

12:56 p.m .:

Gündogan on Havertz: “I don't know which of us is technically better.

He's already very strong.

He's a player I really like.

It's great that he had the courage to go to England at such a young age.

I would like that from more players.

It is completely normal that everything does not work out this season.

He will feel even better next year and then cause even more sensation. "

12.55 p.m.:

Gündogan on the Champions League game against Can and BVB: “I have not yet spoken to Emre about the duel.

For me, of course, it's especially against my ex-club.

Emre is very important for Dortmund and the DFB with his quality, but also his mentality.

Sometimes I feel like he's not appreciated enough from outside.

He has an incredible standing within the team.

It can be very important for the EM. "

12.53 p.m .:

Gündogan on Agüero: “Kun has contributed an incredible amount to the situation we are in.

He's a great guy.

His legendary goal is unforgettable, I keep getting goosebumps when I look at it with an original comment.

But he's still there. "

12.50 p.m.:

Antonio Rüdiger thinks that Gündogan is currently the best German player: “Basically you should never contradict Toni Rüdiger, it's always dangerous.

Joking aside: I am currently feeling very good.

It's a lot of fun with the team.

Of course we try to keep this feeling until the end of the season.

After the international matches, the decisive phase now begins.

Is it the shape of my life

I don't like to talk about it.

I was in good shape at Dortmund and City.

Now the goals have been added.

It gets me more attention - that's okay, but it's not what is important to me.

HOW I play is more important to me. "

12.48 p.m .:

Gündogan on the quality in the Premier League: “It's an incredible competition every year.

It offers the opportunity to measure yourself against the best.

It was always clear to me that at some point I wanted to take such a step.

Out of the comfort zone, a new challenge. "

12.46 p.m.:

Gündogan on the work quarantine - what do you do in the room all day?

“I play football manager games a lot.

I'm not proud of it, ”he says and laughs.

“Otherwise I try to talk a lot with family and friends.” About his role in the DFB, the city star also says that he would like to continue to play as well as in the past few weeks.

“I know what I can do.

For me it is always important to do that as well as possible.

I would like to use it to make my teammates better. "

12.44 p.m.:

Gündogan on the corona situation of the England legionaries: “We do a test every morning, the team also does one every two days.

We're sitting in a huge dining room, isolated from the other players.

We have our own mini van that drives behind the team bus.

Otherwise we just sit in the room and wait for it to continue.

In the meeting we sit in the back row.

As I said: It is an exceptional situation.

We stick to the rules, we are responsible. "

12.43 p.m.:

Gündogan on the 2018 World Cup: “I don't want to delete this memory.

I want to deal with it, deal with it.

I want to use this experience. "

National coach search: would Pep Guardiola be a candidate?

12.40 p.m.:

Would Guardiola be a national coach candidate?

“Personally, I would take it right away, that's no question,” says Gündogan and laughs.

“I find it difficult to imagine that it is available.

So I don't think it's an alternative.

And I probably wouldn't like it if I didn't have him at the club anymore.

I don't know what will happen in summer.

I am very grateful to Jogi, I had a wonderful time with him.

My need is to give Jogi the degree he deserves. "

12.38 p.m.:

Gündogan on the euro: “I want to play.

I see myself able to do so.

I'm confident enough to say I have the quality to play.

And that I should play.

But that was already the case in 2018.

My point of view has not changed.

It's always been that I feel like I deserve to play.

But that is also the case with many others.

I will therefore accept every decision. "

12.36 p.m.:

Gündogan on the development since the Spain game: “Honestly?

Not much has changed.

Back then you had no choice but to step on the gas in the club.

The break was long at four months.

When we met again a few days ago, I didn't have the feeling that everyone was thinking about the Spain game non-stop. "

12.35 p.m.:

Gündogan on the luxury problem in midfield: “We have a lot of top-level players.

In the end, that's only good for us.

Now it's up to the national coach to try to get as many players as possible onto the pitch and get the most out of it. "

12.33 p.m.:

Gündogan on the wishes of Löw and Guardiola: "It is different.

I have a little more freedom here than at a club, I'm more involved in building up the game here.

I'm more offensive at City and that's why I scored a lot of goals.

At the DFB I'm freer, I can let myself fall and pick up the ball from behind. "

12.30 p.m.:

Let's go with the PK!

Ilkay Gündogan opens the media round.

The midfielder is of course satisfied with the previous World Cup qualification.

“I think the circumstances are extraordinary.

Therefore it is not easy to deal with the situation.

The win against Romania was tough, but in the end it was sovereign.

We could have scored a few more goals, but in the end it was deserved.

Now we want to add the third victory. "

12.17 p.m.:

The PK starts here in a good ten minutes.

National player Ilkay Gündogan will probably make the start.

For the midfield engine, things are currently going very well at Manchester City.

However, he will soon have to say goodbye to a legendary team-mate *. 

Löw-PK in the live ticker: DFB rotation against North Macedonia?

First report from March 30th, 11:04 am:

Düsseldorf - He rarely seemed so energetic: Joachim Löw *!

With his resignation, the national coach had already announced that he wanted to free up his forces again.

In the DFB environment, with the players and with himself. His recent appearances have now shown that he has succeeded.

Löw appears liberated, has a clear address and at the same time a positive charisma.

The 1-0 on Sunday didn't quite fit into the picture.

After the turbo start against Iceland, the DFB * -Elf missed the best chances in the second game of the World Cup qualification.

Five, six, even seven goals against Romania would have been easy.

They would have contributed to the new self-image and continued on the good path in 2021.

So in the end it was just a narrow victory against a team that doesn't have nearly the size of the collar that one expects of itself.

DFB: Press conference with Jogi Löw and Ilkay Gündogan in the live ticker

Now the World Cup qualification continues.

On Wednesday in Duisburg, North Macedonia is again waiting for an opponent who has to be defeated.

Anything else would be a disgrace.

What is the national coach * planning?

Most recently, he left some exceptional talents like Timo Werner stewing on the bench for a long time and only switched late.

It was a first hint towards EM 2021.

A change in the starting line-up seems already fixed in advance: Manuel Neuer should apparently get a break.

If Löw actually spares his captain and anchor, Marc-André ter Stegen will be in the can.

The national coach will comment on this persona and many others in a video press conference.

He and midfielder Ilkay Gündogan will answer journalists' questions on Tuesday from 12.30 p.m.

We accompany the media round in the live ticker.
