Benedict Hollerbach Aims for National Team Spot

Benedict Hollerbach has emerged as a key player for 1. FC Union Berlin this season, and he is now setting his sights on a potential spot in the German national football team. The 23-year-old forward expressed confidence in his abilities during a recent interview, stating that he believes he can secure a place on the national squad.

With his impressive performance this season, Hollerbach has been instrumental in helping Union Berlin achieve early safety from relegation in the Bundesliga. He has scored a total of eight goals, including a critical strike against Bayern Munich that earned his team a valuable point. His contributions have made him a standout player in the league.

Hollerbach joined Union Berlin in the summer of 2023 from Wehen Wiesbaden and has quickly established himself as a vital member of the team. His contract reportedly extends until 2027, but interest from other Bundesliga clubs, including Borussia Mönchengladbach, has arisen, suggesting that his future could see him moving elsewhere.

The anticipation surrounding his potential inclusion in the national team is heightened with the announcement of the squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League Final Four expected soon. Bundestrainer Julian Nagelsmann is set to reveal his selections for the matches scheduled for early June. Hollerbach acknowledged the significance of being a national player, highlighting the enhanced spotlight and opportunities that come with such a status.

Despite a recent draw against VfB Stuttgart in which Hollerbach was active yet did not deliver his best performance, he remains optimistic about his future. His belief in his qualities as a player reflects a determination to succeed at the highest levels of football.
