Sven Ulreich: 'I've done a lot of things right'
Sven Ulreich says his recent call-up to the German national team is another proof that he made a good decision when he joined Bayern München from Stuttgart in 2015.

When asked to comment on his first inclusion in Germany coach Joachim Löw's squad, the 30-year-old told Kicker:
"That was very surprising for me. It's an honor, and I'm looking forward to the time there and want to give all I've got."
Ulreich received a lot of criticism when he joined Bayern München from VfB Stuttgart in 2015 in full awareness that he would be the second-choice goalkeeper at Allianz Arena behind Manuel Neuer.
But because Neuer has been struggling with various injuries in recent years, Ulreich has been handed plenty of first-team action, appearing 69 times for Bayern over the course of four seasons.
Unsurprisingly, the 30-year-old is very pleased with how things have developed for him at Bayern.
"When I made my decision, I always had the hope of getting to play. The years have shown how important it is for Bayern to have two strong goalkeepers. I've done a lot of things right," he said.
Ulreich made 12 appearances for Bayern in the 2018/19 season.
