\u201cI\u2019ve known Julian for a very long time \u2013 he was my youth coach at Hoffenheim. Even when I was seriously injured in the knee (Pr\u00f6mel missed almost the entire previous season due to a cruciate ligament rupture, ed.), he got in touch with me. He then contacted me again ahead of the March call-ups,\u201d Pr\u00f6mel revealed.<\/p>\n
Although he had \u201ctold me I wouldn\u2019t be in the March squad, I was still glad to have the conversation,\u201d the 31-year-old continued, stressing, \u201cI now know I\u2019m still on his radar.\u201d He admits he is not \u201cclinging to huge hopes for the summer, because I know the national coach won\u2019t make radical changes to the March group. But if he does need me, in whatever capacity, I\u2019ll be ready. To be part of the World Cup squad would be a huge dream,\u201d Pr\u00f6mel concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI\u2019ve known Julian for a very long time \u2013 he was my youth coach at Hoffenheim.
