Coming to terms with shocking defeat. Germany eliminated World Cup in the 1/8 finals with a score of 4:5 on penalties against outsiders Paraguay. One of the pros who lost his cool over this point was Nick Woltemade (24).
The Newcastle striker was replaced by national team coach Julian Nagelsmann (38) shortly before the end of normal time and was used for the first time in the tournament. ZDF expert Fritzi Kromp (41) criticizes the decision to entrust the attempt to a safe penalty taker who takes the penalty without rhythm.

She says: “It makes sense to me that Nick Woltemade, who makes his first appearance in a knockout game today, doesn’t score the decisive penalty. He’s obviously a highly paid, very good footballer who can score penalties on the production line, but not in this situation.”
And further: “I think he felt as if he had been killed, and today you need him, and the fact that he cannot work then leaves me speechless. This is also ungrateful towards the player.”
