Perhaps one of the biggest decisions to make was defining who would be starting in the midfield pivot. Recent reports came out that Nagelsmann had already decided upon 9 of the 11 starts for this summer’s World Cup. Among them was Bayern Munich’s very own Aleksander Pavlović.
Pavlović is likely to start alongside Leon Goretzka or perhaps Anton Stach can emerge as a larger player come June. When asked about how Pavlović felt about playing alongside Goretzka for Germany this summer, Pavlović was his usual humble self.
“Of course I’m pleased when the national team coach speaks positively about me. The World Cup is a clear goal of mine, but at the moment I’m still looking at it from afar.

Pavlović’s attitude is perfect here. As exciting as the prospect of the World Cup this summer is, the Bavarians are serious contenders for the Champions League and Pavlović knows there is a lot of work still to be done. Hopefully, fans can look back in a few months upon a successful end of season.
