It's obviously an extremely tragic situation for Marc; it would have been his turn now. That something so dramatic would come from such a simple action as a normal pass. Looking at his history with the national team, it would have been his turn now.
He's a young player who needs time to develop, as you can see now in Newcastle. So, I don't expect him to score 15 goals in Newcastle and then shoot us to a World Cup title. He's welcome to do that, but it would be extraordinary. I told him only last week to stay relaxed. We have trust in him.
After what will be 73 years, spanning four FIFA World Cup triumphs and three European Championships, the iconic relationship between Germany's biggest sporting brand and one of football's most decorated national teams will come to an end.
