Nick Woltemade continues: Deutsche U21 celebrates the final entry

The German U21 around tournament star Nick Woltemade storms the European Championship title after the final. After the 3-0 (2-0) in the semi-finals against France, the selection of the German Football Association will meet defending champion England on Saturday and wants to crown himself for the fourth time. In addition to the designated top scorer Woltemade (14th minute), Nelson Weiper (8th) and substitute Brajan Gruda (90th+3) met for the German team, which is also very efficient in the fifth tournament game.

After the start of the dream, the U21 national coach Antonio di Salvo, which has been undefeated for almost two years, demonstrated a lot of defensive passion against the French attack series around the former Bavaria star Mathys Tel. And in Noah Atubolu it had an outstanding goalkeeper-not only because of his brilliant parades against France’s Joker Thierno Barry (46./68). With his 21st commitment for the U21, the Freiburg Manuel Neuer left behind and is a German record goalkeeper in this age group.

With six goals on the account, Woltemade is preparing to become the fourth German top scorer at a U21 European Championship to Pierre Littbarski (1982), Luca Waldschmidt (2019) and Lukas Nmecha (2021). The Torrecord is also in it, because no player has scored more than seven goals at this junior tournament.

At the final on Saturday in Bratislava, Julian Nagelsmann, who had recently promoted Woltemade to the A-national player, is also said to be in the stadium. The national coach hopes for the fourth German U21 title win after 2009, 2017 and 2021.

After the English had moved into the final against the Netherlands thanks to two goals from Liverpool star Harvey Elliott, the DFB team got a perfect start against France in front of 11,913 spectators in Kosice. Woltemade had a decisive part in this.

After winning the ball of the very enthusiastic Gladbacher Rocco Reitz, Woltemade served the Mainz Paul Nebel. It failed half on the post, half of France’s goalkeeper Guillaume Rest. The Weiper, who was new to Nicolo Tresoldi, recycled in a goalkeeper manner. His third tournament gate.

Without the regular captain Chrislain Matsima from FC Augsburg, who had to be sewn with six stitches on the Lippe in the 3: 2 against Denmark, the French defense revealed blatant weaknesses in the initial phase. The Bundesliga defender Castello Lukeba from RB Leipzig, Kiliann Sildillia from SC Freiburg did not stop at the team either.

Weiper converted the SOUNGOUTOU Magassa’s dropout into a preparatory work for Woltemade. The needed against keeper rest two attempts – then the way to the fourth final was finally paved at the past five tournaments.

France needed something to recover from the horror. The U21 of the Grande Nation put pressure on the 0: 2 as a burden, but the precision was missing. The DI-Salvo troop was also gone by the setback due to the early injury of the Max Rosenfelder, which was struck after the Italian quarterfinals.

Unlike before the break, Germany got some relief again. Fog, Weiper, Woltemade or Merlin Röhl missed the calming 3: 0. That got Gruda.
