the curious case of Lewis Holtby again
so...
Lewis Holtby... Er kommt zurück nach Schalke nächste Bundesliga saison... finally. Then there's the issue of representing Germany vs England... And then there's Jogi Löw who has hinted that Schürrle and him could get a call up.
So the captain of the rebuilt U21 team (after they failed to qualify for Euro 2012 after Jogi Löw raided the u21 team to form the World Cup 2010 team, Rainer Adrion rebuilt the u21 and Holtby was crowned captain. And the team has been in good form since)
it's old news that he said he's open to playing for England if Capello is willing to talk but then on Aktuelle Sportstudio said he's going to play for Germany. He sounds very Pom in his interview with English radio btw.
Now, the issue is that Jogi Löw has said the Germany-Sweden friendly on 17/11/10 will be a testing ground for newer players and has said young players like Holtby and Schürrle will be due to get a call up, especially after Jogi has praised them when he watched the Mainz-Hoffenheim match.
But now... there's an upcoming u21 match Germany vs England, that's on the day before the Sweden friendly. So I'm wondering... will Holtby be called up for U21 or the senior Nationalmannschaft? Will Adrion and Löw decide what happens? After all, Holtby is due his senior team cap... but I'm pretty sure the U21 Germany England game would be quite special to him?
Anyway, I don't know which one I prefer all I know as long a he doesn't play for the 3 lions, and if Schalke avoids relegation and Schalke retains all our starpower... omg dream attacking midfield: rakitic, jurado, holtby beind... raul/hunterlaar
all is well.
Lemme leave you with some dorky goal celebrations:
