Beck, Jaissle and Strifler called up by DFB

By: Matthias | February 6th, 2009

Proudly 1899 Hoffenheim can note it has six entrants for international duty next week including three for Germany. Andreas Beck will earn his first cap for die Mannschaft as Joachim Löw has tabbed the defender to debut against Norway next Wednesday when they meet in Düsseldorf. Marvin Compper and Tobias Weis, who played in the November match against England were not called up with 1899 coach Ralf Rangnick saying:

“That is an indication for both of them to work 100 per cent. It just shows that 80 or 90 per cent is not good enough.”

Matthias Jaissle earns his first honour for the U21 as Horst Hurbesch has nominated him as they face Republic of Ireland in Cork, Ireland on Tuesday.

In another first Jonas Strifler receives his first call-up for the U19 side as they face Greece in Kozani on February 11.

Other members of the club receiving international assignments are Andreas Ibertsberger for Austria against Sweden in Graz, Boubacar Sanogo for Côte d’Ivoire against Türkey and Isaac Vorsah will play for Ghana against Egypt in Cairo.

  After Beck’s superb performances in the first half of the season, his call up should be no surprise to anyone. He’s got great pace and no fear. Every time I see him come up from the bottom of the screen, I know the other team is in trouble!! I can’t wait to see him in the national team. Lahm on the left, Beck on the right would be wings to reckon with.

  One of the things I love about the success of the Hoff is that it’s giving all these ignored, seemingly “lesser” players a chance to shine and get their call-ups.

  I was actually cheering in front of the computer screen when I read that Beck has been called up! I had been rooting for him to get a call-up to the senior side and it finally happened. Congrats to him.
