Jonas Urbig Keeps Clean Sheet in Germany Debut

The composed showing plus pre-game messages from Bayern veterans Manuel Neuer and Sven Ulreich could strengthen his case for more national-team call-ups.

Overview

Jonas Urbig started for Germany in the UEFA Nations League against Serbia and played the full match as Germany won 2-0 while he kept a clean sheet.
Urbig described Germany’s performance as dominant, saying the team pressed immediately after losing the ball and controlled large parts of the game.
He revealed that Bayern teammates Manuel Neuer and Sven Ulreich messaged him before the match to wish him luck, signaling club support for his step up.
At Bayern Urbig has been regarded as an agile, intelligent and highly promising goalkeeper who currently serves as a club backup, a fact he says does not concern him.
Selectors and observers will now watch whether this debut and its clean sheet—an important metric for goalkeepers—lead to further Germany call-ups and a larger role at international level.
