In a recent interview with the media, German winger Phil Kruger delved into his changing role in the national team, the new look of Germany, his personal status, and his anticipation of the new life he will soon start in England.
Talking about the changes in the German team, Phil Kruger said that the team is undergoing a profound transformation, with the departure of big names refreshing the squad and providing a stage for a new group of players to express themselves. "We are on a good path and despite losing the aura of world champions and experienced internationals, it has rather fueled our desire for glory. We want to turn this disadvantage into an advantage and become a dynamic and highly professional team."
Regarding the new energy of the German team, Felkrug believes that the hosting of the Euro on home soil and the positive media coverage have given the team a new impetus. "We are proud to wear the national team jersey and we have to go all out to win. This positive attitude and atmosphere will push us forward."
On a personal level, Phil Kruger admits that his status has improved with the national team, but he hasn't let that change his initial intentions. "I always try to be at the forefront, not only to perform well on the field, but also to do my job off the field. I rarely talk to the coach about playing time because I believe that if I perform well, the coach will naturally give me more opportunities."
On the upcoming UEFA Nations League competition, Phil Kruger said that while it may not have the same impact as the Europa League, the team is still hungry for success. "People like to see us succeed and their support is vital for us. We want to start this tournament in good shape and set the stage for future victories."
Talking about the new life he is about to start in the UK, Phil Kruger is looking forward to it. "My English is very good, which facilitates my adaptation to the new environment. Moving abroad is a completely new challenge for me, but I am very happy with the decision. English soccer is a very different style from German soccer, with more emphasis on physical confrontation and dynamism, but relatively few tactics. I believe that with time our club will adapt and get on track. West Ham United are a strong team and I hope to work with my teammates to achieve the goal of Champions League qualification."
