Confed Cup Winner 2017

Benny Henrichs on his call up:

“I'm really looking forward to the European Championships and I'm overjoyed to be there. In the end, hard work pays off. Unfortunately, I missed the 2022 World Cup and I have to admit that it was a bitter blow for me. Now I have more or less fought my way back. I was there for every action taken by Julian Nagelsmann and recently received the news from him that I would be part of the team at the home European Championships. Afterwards there were calls straight away to my family and my boys. We all danced together and were happy. It was just a really nice feeling.”

About the DFB Announcement Campaign:

“I think it’s new and I think it’s really cool. So when you see, for example, how Jonathan Tah has now been called up by Grandma Lotti, very sweet. Toni Rüdiger from a kebab shop in Berlin where he always eats. David Raum with the announcement at the airport or, for me, the announcement by the school class in the final nomination video. It just shows that we are a team that represents the whole country and we take every fan on board. This is a great idea and also a good way to connect the squad with the whole nation.”

Absolute Regular at RBL

The Bocholt native was able to earn himself a spot at the European Championships thanks to a strong season with the Red Bulls. Benny has played 41 times for RBL in all competitions so far this season, and was in our head coach Marco Rose's starting line-up 36 times. He contributed eight assists and one goal in these games.

Since moving from AS Monaco to the trade fair city in the summer of 2020, our defender has played a total of 142 games (8 goals/16 assists) for RB Leipzig and won the 2022 and 2023 DFB Cup and the 2023 Supercup with the club.
