Despite having slipped down the pecking order in the German national team, Nick Woltemade remains optimistic about getting his special World Cup moment during the tournament.
“That’s what the national team coach tells me. The tournament is hopefully still long for us. I’m working hard for my chance,” Woltemade told RND.
Woltemade has been on the bench for Germany’s last two games – a 2-1 friendly win over the USA and a 7-1 World Cup opening victory over Curacao – but remains positive.
“This doesn’t unsettle me, I can deal with it. Overall, the past year has been crazy for me; it has changed my life,” said the Newcastle United forward.
“When I stood on the pitch with the whole team before the match against Curacao and we sang the anthem, I was smiling from ear to ear because it is so big and beautiful to be part of the biggest stage in football.”
