Four days before the start of the tournament, the German striker who would like to be a seeded player spoke about the German striker who was a seeded player. “Of course,” said Niclas Füllkrug about Kai Havertz, “everyone wants to play, but now Kai has my absolute support. I wish him every goal he can score, because it will move us forward as a team and as a nation.” What is easy to imagine: that this was not just said, but also honestly meant. What is just as easy to imagine: that Kai Havertz would say something similar, but that he would know that every goal Füllkrug scores is also one that can be used against him.
