Germany national team manager Rudi Fuller acknowledged his disappointment after Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Can Ozun committed to represent Turkey rather than his birth nation. The 19-year-old attacker has produced six goals, and four assists across seven appearances this season, and his exceptional form heightened the sense of loss. Fuller stated the German federation maintained extensive dialogue with Ozun's father, and representative, before the player selected Turkey. German supporters have expressed frustration over losing the talented prospect who had deliberated between the two nations before finalizing his international allegiance, and Fuller admitted to feeling sadness while describing Ozun as an amazing footballer.
