Cologne's 19-year-old forward Mara was selected for the new German team roster. Hamann, Weidenfeller, and Matthaus participated in the program and talked about his unexpected selection.

Harman

In my opinion, it is still too early. I prefer to wait until next spring, when it is too late to recruit him. Now the hype caused by La Liga clubs chasing him has become too fierce. Bayer was not selected for the national team. He has performed very well in Dortmund recently and made great progress. This is of course a bigger blow to him, and it will do more harm than good to Mara. If he continues this performance, you can call him up at any time. So for me, it's too early to pick him.

Weidenfeller

I am very disappointed, Bayer has been performing very well recently. Dortmund's upward momentum also has a lot to do with his performance.

Matthaeus

Why not give an extraordinary genius like Marat a chance? We've been waiting, waiting, waiting. In Spain, young players will also get opportunities. Nagelsmann has the right to recruit such a player, and Mara deserves to be selected for the national team.
