On the sidelines of the Bayern U19 Youth League quarter-final against Olympiacos Piraeus (1:3), Bayern sports director Christoph Freund (46) said: “It’s not official yet, but if it is, it’s an award for him. He has developed incredibly well this season and plays extremely consistently with a high level of self-confidence. Also international games, where there is a lot of pressure.”

Bayern boss friend about Goretzka not being nominated!
Bitter news, however, for Leon Goretzka (29), who will miss the March international matches.
Freund says of the 57-time national player: “It’s a shame because Leon has done well in the last few games. He is an absolute leader for us, scored important goals in the last game and generally performed well. But it’s a decision from the team boss.”

In fact, Goretzka had improved in recent games. He was recently back in midfield for the German record champions (starting eleven times in a row). He impressed with two goals and two assists in the 8-1 win against Mainz, played well against Lazio Rome (3-0) and even played well as a kind of libero in Freiburg (2-2).

There are two reasons why Pavlovic is nominated instead of Goretzka. On the one hand, the two-footed midfielder enjoys great trust under Bayern coach Tuchel, which he repays with strong performances (12 appearances, including 4 scorer points).
On the other hand, Pavlovic was courted by the Serbian association. Pavlovic’s father comes from Serbia, so he could also play for the Serbian national team.
