Crazy scene in the video: This is how a ball boy Germany gave the 2-0
The teenager Noel Urbaniak is used for the first time in Dortmund as a ball boy. His quick reaction helps the DFB team significantly with the second goal.
After his magical moment with DFB captain Joshua Kimmich, Noel Urbaniak first contacted his mom. The 15-year-old ball boy had to report directly from his incredible experience at the National League quarter-finals Germany against Italy.
“I thrown the ball directly, we had eye contact beforehand. I have never experienced anything like that. It was my first time as a ball boy. It feels really good,” said Urbaniak at RTL. The youngster had made it possible for Jamal Musiala 2-0.
Urbaniak threw the ball directly to Kimmich after the parade of Gianluigi Donnarumma. He noticed Italy’s inattentiveness in the penalty area and played the ball directly in the middle after a corner, where Musiala was completely free and was able to complete the empty gate. At that time, Donnarumma had struggled with his forefenses.
“The second goal killed us”
This campaign was decisive for Italy’s coach Luciano Spalletti. “What killed us was the second goal,” said the Italian coach. He always stands in front of his players, but the action was fatal.
Julian Nagelsmann praised the ball boy, but especially Kimmich and Musiala. “The ball boy does it well. But the decisive player is Josh, who wants the ball quickly. And then also Jamal, who behaves cleverly,” said the national coach.
Was the situation planned? No, said the national coach. “You can’t rehearse that. Then you would have to take the goalkeeper to the opposing training. It was a very intelligent action from the two,” said Nagelsmann.
Völler promises a free ticket
After the final whistle, the ball boy and Kimmich met for a photo together on the edge of the field. “Jo signed the ball and said thank you,” said the boy. DFB sports director Rudi Völler promised: “He gets a free ticket at the next home game.”
The 15-year-old also received special praise from Nagelsmann. “From all three absolute world class,” said Nagelsmann. He said Kimmich, Musiala and Ball boy Noel Urbaniak.
