Former well-known German commentator Bela Lacey recently suggested that Hamburg striker Glazier should be selected for the German team, which caused a discussion in the media. However, in the opinion of German star Matthäus, the German team lacks a good center forward, but now has Phil Kruger available.

Bela Raisi said on the podcast "Kicker Meets DAZN": "Glazier is a center forward with excellent body control and great technique. He plays in the second division, so what?"

Since 2021, the 29-year-old Glazier has made 85 appearances for Hamburg, scoring 51 goals. Speaking on the subject, Mateusz said, "I have nothing against Glazier. He's been playing very well and is reliable in terms of scoring goals. But this is the Bundesliga 2 after all".

"It's true that we have too few good German centers, but we don't have to focus only on Bundesliga 2 centers. If Nagelsmann wants to use a real No.9, then I think Felkrug is the best man for the job.

"Phil Kruger has proven his ability to score goals for the national team and he is now playing in the Champions League as well. The same goes for Berens of Berlin United and I think he is also an option. The third option is Gnabry."

Bela Lacey: Glazer has the strength to make the cut

According to Bela Lacey, Glazier's excellent performances in the Bundesliga are proof enough of his strength. He possesses excellent physical and technical qualities and is a typical traditional center forward.

"Glazier has done well in the Bundesliga 2 and he is a very strong person". Bela Lacey said, "He has great physical and technical qualities and he has a lot to offer the team. I think he should have the chance to represent Germany."

Mateusz: Germany has too few good centers

Mateusz, on the other hand, believes that Germany has too few good wingers at the moment, but Phil Kruger has proved his worth.

"It is true that we have too few good centers in Germany." Matthäus said, "But Phil Kruger has proved that he can score goals for the national team and he is now playing in the Champions League. He's a good choice."

Who will be selected for the German team?

Germany will play their first Europa League match of the 2022-23 season on October 7 against Italy. Let's see which center forward Nagelsmann will choose to play.

My opinion

I think Glaser has the ability to make the German team. He is a great center forward with great physicality and technique. But Mateusz also has a valid point that Germany has too few good wingers at the moment and Phil Kruger has proven his worth.

Ultimately, Nagelsmann will make his choice based on the needs of the German team. If Nagelsmann wants to use a traditional center forward, then Phil Kruger will be the first choice. If Nagelsmann wishes to use a more flexible formation, then Glazier could also make the cut.
