German first-choice goalkeeper of the football team is sidelined during the holiday period
In the world of football, the potential transfer of Nnamdi Collins from Eintracht Frankfurt has been announced, but the context remains unclear. The DFB star is currently the only trained right-back in the German national team squad, and his potential departure could have significant implications.
Joshua Kimmich, the captain, might find himself playing on the right-back position in the future, should Collins depart. However, no other internal alternatives are outstanding, as per coach Julian Nagelsmann.
The coach acknowledged responsibility for Collins' performance in the World Cup qualifier against Slovakia, but was quick to emphasize that he would not blame a debutant for any mistakes. Despite a poor performance in his debut, Nagelsmann believes that Collins' performance might be instructive.
The match against Slovakia was a challenging one, with the whole team construction being extremely unstable. Collins played "unluckily", according to Nagelsmann, and the coach encourages him to keep pushing.
Meanwhile, the upcoming MOPO, a weekly publication, is set to be available for purchase from Friday. It will feature a variety of topics, including stricter rules for e-bikes, problems at Südstraße animal shelter, radical free churches, the Block trial, puzzles, sports updates, and cultural tips.
Among the sports updates, the Bundesliga comeback of HSV women, Vuskovic, Vieira and Sambi Lokonga in check, and the consequences of St. Pauli's top start are some of the highlights.
As for the cultural scene, the Reeperbahn Festival, Heaven Can Wait choir in the Stadtpark, and various cultural tips for every day are some of the cultural highlights in the upcoming MOPO.
In light of the potential transfer and Collins' performance, the future of the German national team's right-back position remains uncertain. But one thing is for sure: the team will continue to push forward, with Nagelsmann's encouragement echoing in their ears.
