“We’re delighted Robin Koch has been selected for the Germany squad,” said board member for sport Markus Krösche. “He deserves it given his consistently good performances. It’s an honour for us as a club as well, and shows that we have experienced internationals in our ranks alongside many young players.”
“In terms of his character, Robin Koch has matured from his time abroad,” explained Nagelsmann. “He’s very communicative, can guide his teammates and is currently one of the best tacklers in the Bundesliga. He’ll give everything in training and do his part in pushing others.” The head coach went on to say that Koch’s call-up was “a reward for the development he has shown”.
