If Goretzka is picked for the 2018 World Cup squad, it will not come as a surprise to many - like for other youngsters such as Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich), Jonas Hector (FC Cologne), Gnabry and Werner. Perhaps even more importantly, Schalke's midfielder has gained leadership qualities on his way to the German senior time via the various age groups.
He has changed nutrition after examining the causes for a slow recovery rate, injuries and stomach problems together with medical specialists. As he now avoids pork, dairy products, nuts and gluten things, he feels significantly better - so much so that Goretzka claims to have more energy and not to get so tired as he did in the past.
More visible are Goretzka's improvements on the pitch as he is ready to take on several positions in midfield - a defensive role, one down the flanks and as a midfield general.
He sees himself beginning to build a base for himself in the German team but says he nowhere near to taking on a leading role yet. Demanding such a role he says would be presumptuous.
The first step into the new football life as a part of the national team is to always perform well. It was the case when he first donned a Schalke shirt as he improved his scoring record from two to eight in league games within a year.
Improving his effectiveness in front of the goal was one of Goretzka's main focuses in the last months. His advantage, he once said, is his versatility. "I simply love this game and when I was young, I never ever missed a training session."
