Nuremberg’s Shooting Star Caspar Jander Receives High Praise from World Champion Colleague
Nuremberg, Germany – The glowing praise from a fellow World Cup winner for Nuremberg’s shooting star Caspar Jander (21) has also delighted coach Miroslav Klose. Christoph Kramer, who won the 2014 World Cup in Brazil with Klose, has described Jander as a future national team player in a podcast.
"There is still a way to go. He has only just started playing for us professionals," said Klose ahead of his 1. FC Nuremberg’s away match on Friday (6:30 p.m.) against Hertha BSC with the new coach Stefan Leitl. "We are all enthusiastic about the boy, and we enjoy watching him just as much. It’s all the more pleasing when others perceive it from the outside."
Jander joined Nuremberg from MSV Duisburg in the 3rd league last summer. The U20 international has developed into a leader in the defensive midfield.
Jander’s Rise to Prominence
Jander made his breakthrough in Nuremberg’s 3-0 victory over Ingolstadt on October 21, 2022. He scored his first goal for the club in the following match, a 2-1 win over Heidenheim.
Since then, Jander has become a regular in the Nuremberg starting lineup, impressing with his composure on the ball, his ability to read the game, and his tireless work rate. He has also captained the team on several occasions.
Kramer’s Prediction
Christoph Kramer’s prediction that Jander could become a future national team player is based on the youngster’s exceptional talent and rapid development.
"Caspar has everything it takes to become a top player," said Kramer. "He’s technically gifted, has a great football IQ, and is a real fighter. I’m sure he’ll have a great career."
Klose’s Reaction
Klose welcomed Kramer’s praise for Jander but emphasized that the 21-year-old still has room for improvement.
"It’s great to hear such positive feedback from a player like Christoph Kramer," said Klose. "It shows that Caspar is on the right track. But we need to keep working hard and improving every day."
Outlook for the Future
Jander’s future looks bright. He has established himself as a key player for Nuremberg and has attracted the attention of several Bundesliga clubs.
If he continues to develop at his current rate, he is likely to receive his first call-up to the German national team in the near future.
Conclusion
Caspar Jander’s rapid rise to prominence at Nuremberg has impressed both his coach and a fellow World Cup winner. With his talent, determination, and leadership qualities, Jander has the potential to become one of the best midfielders in Germany.
