"Stiller was not the only from Stuttgart omitted and also not the only one to issue a brief statement. Both Deniz Undav and Maximilian Mittelstädt were also not on the list. Stiller, Undav, and Mittelstädt have all performed admirably under Nagelsmann for Germany, so this is - and should be - a bit of a shock. Nagelsmann, though, is still in full "Tinker Mode", which means any or all of these Stuttgart players could once again make the cut."
"'We discussed it internally. That has to be enough,' Stiller told RTL (as captured by BuliNews.com). When pushed for a deeper response, Still refused to give any further comment. 'I didn't expect that,' said head coach Sebastian Hoeneß. 'Still, that's the situation now, and we will, of course, stick to not questioning it. We want to give sporting answers now and be successful together. And then, I'm sure, that path will lead them back.'"
Angelo Stiller was not called up to the German national team and declined to comment beyond saying, 'We discussed it internally. That has to be enough.' Deniz Undav and Maximilian Mittelstädt were also omitted from the squad. Stuttgart head coach Sebastian Hoeneß called the omissions unexpected but urged the team to provide sporting answers and continue working toward returning the players to consideration. Stiller, Undav, and Mittelstädt have performed well under Julian Nagelsmann, but Nagelsmann's frequent rotation or 'Tinker Mode' creates selection volatility. Germany's recent lack of progress is linked to instability. Bayern's strong form and PSG's Champions League struggles illustrate the difficulty of sustaining success.
