Last Saturday, Schalke 04 drew 0-0 with Bayern Munich, an almost entirely unexpected result. The standout performer of the match was undoubtedly Karius. The 33-year-old goalkeeper, as always, demonstrated remarkable stability in Schalke's defense, defusing dangerous situations at precisely the right moments.

Does this goalkeeper, who once reached the Champions League final, deserve a place in Germany's national team? According to Hamann's opinion, the answer is yes.

"He is Schalke's biggest ace. He brings a strong sense of calm, he's a big man, a giant," said the Sky Sports Germany expert on the Sky90 program, before adding praise: "He plays calmly and steadily, he's seen a lot, and he's played in many countries – I wouldn't be surprised at all if he eventually plays an important role."

Hamann also mentioned the role Karius might play under new Germany coach Klopp. There is currently some uncertainty at the goalkeeper position for the German national team, particularly after Neuer's official retirement.

"The number one goalkeeper has retired, and we have a new coach," said Hamann, defending Karius: "Ter Stegen hasn't played in a long time, and no one knows how he'll be when he returns. Nübel has performed well in Turkey. Ulreich won't be immediately selected simply because he hasn't played matches – you first have to find someone better than him."
