Füllkrug declines Germany questions after Bremen's 1-0 loss to Stuttgart

Niclas Füllkrug refused to discuss his return to the German national team after Werder Bremen's 1-0 Bundesliga defeat to VfB Stuttgart on Saturday, according to Get German Football News.

Bremen failed to extend their unbeaten run to eight games despite dominating much of the match, registering 23 shots and an expected goals value of 1.40 while failing to score in the league for the first time this season. Füllkrug told ZDF he felt a single goal could have won it: "I had the feeling that if we'd scored that one goal, we could even win the game."

The 33-year-old, the league's top scorer with nine goals, has returned to the national team after more than a year away. Asked about it, he said: "I'm not going to do that after a 1-0 loss. Please, a little respect. We just lost a game. That's not even on my mine right now." He added that the topic does not interest him at the moment and that he meant no rudeness, stressing the defeat was his focus.
