German star Effenberg said in an interview with sport1 that Stuttgart midfielder Stiller should have been selected for the German team.

Effenberg said: "What confuses me is why Stiller was not called up. The player himself, his teammates and I are confused about this. We did not get any explanation, which makes me very confused. If you really only look at performance, Stiller should be a member of the national team. He is a very important and key player."

A reporter had previously asked about the topic of Stiller not being called up by the German team, and Stiller was a little annoyed. In this regard, Effenberg said: "When a player is asked about these things, he answers 'no comment'. I can understand this, but I hope the national team coach can give an explanation."
