Hansi Flick (national coach) on ...

... the contact with Mario Götze:

"We had been in contact for a long time.

I was also in contact with Mario during my time at FC Bayern.”

... the non-nominated Florian Wirtz:

"Of course we would have liked to have had a player with his qualities.

But he was injured for a long time.

The important thing is that he comes back safely.

It's the right way to concentrate on training your ability to play."

... Antonio Rüdiger:

"Toni is our defense chief.

I'm happy that he's there, you don't have any concerns about it at all.

There are no question marks in the squad we have nominated.”

… the revived Bayern block:

“I wrote to Julian and told him that I was happy that they were performing so well.

But it's only part of the players who are in good shape.

But we need all players.

We can only play a good tournament if everyone is focused.”

... the planning with the ailing Thomas Müller:

"We are in close contact, he has a good structure.

I am convinced that he has never been so well prepared for a World Cup.

We hope to use him in the friendly against Oman.

The weather in Germany doesn't always play along in November.

It's good to be in Oman already and to accept the temperatures, then we continue to Qatar.

We'll see who needs regeneration and who needs the games.

We want to acclimatize and recover.

Four days before the game we really get into training.”

... injured players:

"We can nominate an injured player up to 24 hours before the first matchday.

But I won't give you a list of possible players who can be nominated later."

When will Flick announce his DFB squad for the 2022 World Cup?

... Niclas Füllkrug:

"I noticed him with Horst Hrubech in 2016 when it came to the Olympic nomination.

But he moved to Hanover at the time, so it wasn't possible to nominate him.

He is very sure of the ball, has a good finish with both legs, including the last header.

This is an element that is good for us.

Whether he plays is up to the player himself.”

... Niklas Süle, who could play as a right-back:

"That gives us one more option.

But what it will look like then, we will decide from game to game.”

... the absence of Hummels:

"We have four central defenders with enormous quality, plus Kehrer and Bella-Kotchap.

There are enough good players, so I think you can understand taking a younger player with you."

... Mats Hummels and further unconsidered professionals:

“First of all, it is important to play a good World Cup.

Nevertheless, we thought about how to set up the squad.

Such a World Cup experience is very valuable.

I don't just feel sorry for Mats, but also for Timo Werner, who always scored his goals for us.

Nmecha has also failed.

I really appreciate Marco Reus as a footballer, we will miss him.

He tried everything to jump on the World Cup train again.

But an injury like that takes time.

We had to decide whether to take the risk or not.

However, it was not clear when he could have joined.

With Mats Hummels we watched a lot of games.

He's in excellent form, is in great shape and has given Dortmund a lot.

We decided to look to the future and chose a younger player."

... Youssoufa Moukoko:

"He's developing well.

He's fast and finishes well.

We look forward to him.”

... Niclas Füllkrug

: "He has developed well.

Niclas has ten goals and the momentum with him.

He also contributes to the team and constantly tries to improve.

He gives the team confidence that something is still possible.

He can identify with every role because he's happy to be part of it.

Every player here does that.

... the nomination of Mario Götze:

"We all know that Mario is a brilliant footballer, he has intuitive flashes of inspiration.

He is in great shape and can walk 90 minutes three times a week, which is a good prerequisite.

He's a great footballer and a great person."

Update 12:13 p.m .:

Many former world champions, including former national coaches Jogi Löw and Rudi Völler, send their congratulations for the World Cup via video message.

Hansi Flick says thank you and wants to pass on the wishes to the team.

Hansi Flick (national coach) on ...

... the nominated players in midfield/attack: Adeyemi, Brandt, Füllkrug, Gnabry, Goretzka, Götze, Gündogan, Havertz, Hofmann, Kimmich, Moukoko, Müller, Musiala, Sané:

"Moukoko and Füllkrug were nominated for the first time.

We're looking forward to them both because they both give us a lot after the failures of Werner and Nmecha.

Mario Götze is also looking forward to his nomination

... the nominated defenders Bella-Kotchap, Ginter, Günter, Kehrer, Klostermann, Raum, Rüdiger, Schlotterbeck, Süle:

"Klostermann was strong as a right-back in the Nations League.

He's absolutely fit and might be able to play on Sunday.

We think he can help us very, very well.

Bella-Kotchap had a shoulder injury but is fit.

We are quite happy with the selection.

We have players who can play in multiple positions.”

... the nominated goalkeepers Manuel Neuer, ter Stegen and Trapp:

"We chose three goalkeepers.

I think everyone can relate to the players.”

... the squad nomination:

"It was very intense.

It was also my first squad nomination for the World Cup.

We met on Tuesday and went through a lot of things.

Who can help the team and in a certain situation can be the match winner for us.

We didn't make it easy for ourselves.

Of course it's not easy for the players who aren't there.

We have a very, very good squad.

But what is happening in Qatar leaves us speechless and stunned.

It's important that we and the players focus on the sport.

But we also have to address the human rights situation, that is also our task.

We want to draw attention to the grievances.

That is what the DFB stands for, the team.

But the players should have the chance to concentrate on the sport.

We look forward to these 26 players.
