"Tom will be our captain. He has done an outstanding job. I felt in our discussions that he was really keen to play these matches, and that he wanted to lead by example."
"Bischof is in a weird spot - he is one of Germany's best midfielders, but did not earn a call to the senior team because he rarely plays the position for Bayern Munich."
"Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has mostly used Bischof out of position as an outside-back where he is not as good."
Antonio Di Salvo announced Tom Bischof as the captain of the German U-21 national team. Bischof has shown eagerness to lead and will play in midfield. Although he is one of Germany's best midfielders, he has not been called to the senior team due to limited midfield playtime at Bayern Munich. Bischof has primarily been used as an outside-back, which is not his strongest position. His last call to the first team was in May.
