Shortly before the end, there were actually three Freiburgers at the 1: 1 between the Netherlands and Germany on the lawn of the Johan-Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam. Mark Flekken in the gate of the Netherlands, Nico Schlotterbeck in the internal defense of the German defense and Christian Günter as a left part of the DFB four chain. In front of 50,000 spectators were allowed to present Flekken and Schlotterbeck for 90 minutes, Günter was replaced in the 86th minute for David room. The situation of the three Freiburg:
Nico Schlotterbeck: The 22-year-old was as at his debut against Israel (2: 0) in the Startelf - and made a good job again (both times Günter note 3.5). Schlotterbeck, in the Bundesliga with a note of 2.56 of the second best field player behind Munich's goalkeeper Robert Lewandowski (2,46), were not faultless, but largely solid (Günter comment to the game: a lot of work, but the direction is right). With the sometimes high pace of the Dutch, he had problems again and again, but did not realize a big patzer - unlike Israel when he caused a penalty (arrogance? Schlotterbeck: "That was just bad"). Behind the Square Antonio Rüdiger and Niklas Sule, Schlotterbeck has now put himself in position as a challenger of the established forces - and lurks on his chance for more playing time.
Christian Günter: Freiburg's captain broke off the Hoffenheim David Room as left-back shortly before the end. Room and Inter Milan's Robin Gosens have at national coach Hansi Flick currently the nose in front, Günter is the number three of the ranking for the time being. His chances of participating in the World Cup in this winter in Qatar are rather low when the two competitors are fit.
MARK FLEKKEN: The 28-year-old was rarely tested and briefly saved the draw in one-counter-one against Lukas Nmecha. Otherwise, he was seldom really tested (Günter note 2.5), guilty at the goal and glanced above all in the first half of the game with strikingly many secure ball contacts and a constructive build-up. The Dutch, who has played football since his junior time in Germany, is likely to receive his chance under Bondcoach Louis van Gaal, because Stammkeeper Justin Bijlow (24, Feyenoord Rotterdam) is missing after a foot OP. Together with the also injured Jasper Cillessen (32, FC Valencia) Flekken now fights for the status of the number two. Whether he continues to be proven, according to the next international matches in the UEFA Nations League in June should show.
