It will be exciting.
Who is taking Hansi Flick to the World Cup in Qatar?
The national coach and his coaching team will appoint 26 players.
The anticipation is great.
Definitely not there: Timo Werner – due to injury.
In addition to the striker, numerous world stars will not be there at the desert World Cup, although they are in excellent health.
Above all Erling Haaland, market value according to Transfermarkt.de: 170 million euros.
Half the world, it seemed, wanted to sign him from Dortmund, and Manchester City won the contract.
The fact that nobody will see the superstar play in Qatar is due to the performance of his national team.
Norway didn't even make the playoffs.
And the prospects for what is currently the most expensive kicker in the world are bleak: his home country has not been at a World Cup since 1998.
A self-proclaimed football god shares Haaland's fate: Zlatan Ibrahimovic also missed the ticket to Qatar with Sweden.
When asked if that was the end of his national team career, the egocentric magic footballer responded defiantly: "I'll keep going as long as I can.
You won't get any other answer just because we're not going to the World Cup.« By the way: Next October »Ibracadabra« will be 41 years old.
Meet: Mohamed Salah - Egypt has never produced such a footballer.
Jürgen Klopp, his coach at Liverpool FC, already considers him one of the best strikers of all time.
A second participation in the World Cup after 2018 is not possible for Salah this year.
The way he missed the tournament in Qatar caused a great deal of excitement: blinded by numerous laser pointers,
Salah was the first to shoot in the decisive penalty shoot-out against Senegal - and missed.
In the end Egypt was eliminated.
Winner of the Champions League twice with Bayern Munich, today head of defense at Real Madrid - only with the national team does it not work for the best footballer in Austria: David Alaba and his teammates of the supposedly golden generation failed in the play-offs against Wales.
Since 1998, the Alpine Republic has not been at a World Cup.
And then there is the European champion from Italy.
Who has the damage needs for the ridicule ... just.
It's no wonder that Squadra Azzura was kidded a lot after losing in the play-offs: "It is to be welcomed that Italy is boycotting the tournament in Qatar in view of the human rights violations there," it said on social media.
Donnarumma, Bonucci
We will miss Chiellini, Immobile, Verratti and the rest of the squad.
And if only because their names sound grandezza through the reporter's microphone.
