Germany is losing more and more football talents, which, although formed at its academys and represented the new German age groups, decide that at the international level, protect the colors of their countries.

This important decision had selective Franco Foda, while his debut with the Dardans in September made footballer the youngest in the history of the National of Kosovo.
Osman, however, is not the only talent Germany failed to keep in its representative. Among the football players who have chosen other nationals are Josip Stanisic, who plays for Croatia, Kenan Yildiz for Turkey and Ibrahim Maza for Algeria. All three have been part of the German football system, but then decided to represent their countries of origin.
