Bayern's number 31 has earned rave reviews for his Euro 2004 performances in Portugal, showing combative skills and even setting up the opening goal for Bayern teammate Ballack in Germany's 2-1 loss against the Czech Republic.

Under new Bayern coach Felix Magath, a firm believer in youths, Basti will have to battle for spaces with nine other midfielders. New Germany coach Klinsmann has given the nod to his number 7 to continue where he left off with Völler ahead of Germany's World Cup 2006 campaign on home soil.
