Perhaps İlkay Gündoğan was thinking his own thoughts when a reporter reminded him at the press conference in the Stuttgart catacombs that Germany had “not always treated him with care”. And whether he felt he had arrived now that that had changed.

He could have answered that his quality had been overlooked in Germany. Or that the national team had been disorganized and played in recent years, which is why his qualities had not come to the fore. Of course he didn’t, Gündoğan is too polite. He referred to the “new trust from the coaching team and my teammates” and the fact of the poor results in recent years.
