Effenberg: Players like Karl are rare in Germany, and Nasco should take him to the World Cup

On October 25, according to the sport1 website, Effenberg talked about Bayern youngster Karl in his column.

Effenberg said: "If Karl can continue to maintain his current development momentum, I firmly believe that he is fully qualified to represent the German team in the 2026 World Cup. Karl has the potential to become a player who can 'change the game.' Even if his playing time is limited, he can have a key impact on the game - and such players are currently rare in Germany."

Now is the time for young players like Karl to put on the jersey of the German team and participate in the experience of major events. Judging from Karl's current competitive state, this is a logical thing. Karl plays for Bayern, where he can train with world-class players every day and gain more practical experience in the Champions League. "
