“It hurts me every time I’m not in the England squad. Over the last two years, I have played almost every match for Bayern, won the championship and played in the quarter-finals and semi-finals of the Champions League. I felt that I did everything I could to make the squad, but it just didn’t happen,” Dier is quoted by The Telegraph.
