Despite recent goal scoring drought at Newcastle United, Nick Woltemade has eyes on World Cup with Germany
Nick Woltemade has had himself a season.Woltemade’s campaign started with him playing the role of “rope” in a transfer tug-of-war between VfB Stuttgart and Bayern Munich. After VfB Stuttgart refused to accept Bayern Munich’s terms, the player seemingly had made it clear that he wanted out of Stuttgart.AdvertisementLo and behold, Newcastle United opened its coffers and paid VfB Stuttgart an absurd amount of money (€75 million) for the attacker and things seemed…great.Woltemade had gotten off to a good start, he appeared happy, he improved his play for the German national team, and everything looked like it was falling into place for the big man.Things, however, have take a turn.Woltemade had not scored in the any competition since December 20th before netting a goal on Saturday vs. Aston Villa in the FA Cup. Woltemade has seen his role start to diminish — a red flag for German national team candidacy. Even that slide and the potential fallout have not deterred his vision of suiting up for Germany in the World Cup this summer.Advertisement“You always say as a kid, this is the dream, to play a World Cup. I’ll be 24; for the next one I’ll be 28, when I’ll be in my prime. Then I may not even play in the next one because I’ll be 32. But we have a good team and I’m feeling confident,” Woltemade told British GQ (as captured by Get German Football News).Hopefully, Woltemade is not counting his chickens before they hatch. If things do not improve and he becomes relegated to the bench, that could be something that works against Woltemade in the eyes of Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann.Oddly, the situation could be nearing desperation for Woltemade at Newcastle United if you believe a very loose report, which have linked him — again — to Bayern Munich.If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast, Spotify, Apple, or any leading podcast distributor…Join the conversation!Sign up for a user account and get:
