"As a player, you always have more pressure in a World Cup year. But I like to take advantage of the fact that the competition has a positive effect and helps us. If we look at the playing time, everyone has had a pretty similar share. If someone plays more, it's a question of current form. I always try to choose what's best for the team,"
"Last season, Leon Goretzka was a role model at Bayern Munich - fighting back from a tough position to regain his place in the XI as well as, consequently, the German men's national team. However, it has not gotten any easier this year. Goretzka started the season in more favorable standing, partially due to Aleksandar Pavlović's injury. But the young Pavlović, who also has earned his way into Julian Nagelsmann's Germany side, seems preferred in the pivot when fully fit."
Leon Goretzka regained his Bayern Munich starting spot and a place in the German national team after a difficult period. This season started more favorably for Goretzka, aided by an injury to Aleksandar Pavlović. Pavlović has since earned national recognition and appears preferred in the pivot when fully fit. Bayern coach Vincent Kompany describes the internal competition as positive and chooses lineups based on current form and what is best for the team. The season remains long and physically demanding, injuries are mounting again, and opportunities could reopen for Goretzka depending on circumstances.
