Oliver Baumann had a disastrous performance over the weekend, playing as the goalkeeper for Friborg against Hamburg. The 23-year-old made three major mistakes, leading to goals, in a match that caught the attention of the German national team coach, Joachim Löw.
Baumann’s errors included being lobbed by a long ball during a risky outing, hesitating to catch a ball, and releasing a long shot into the feet of a Hamburg attacker. As the goalkeeper responsible for all three goals conceded by his team, Baumann’s chances of making it to the Brazilian World Cup may be in jeopardy. Joachim Löw, known for his discerning choices, may be hesitant to include such a goalkeeper, even as a second or third choice, considering the potential risks involved.
