In the EM check, then in the tournament proper - Nick Woltemade, the newest sensation in U21 national football, has been nothing short of breathtaking. Rumors of his potential future have swirled, but the Stuttgart player dances circle around them for now.
As Woltemade netted his hat-trick following a flawless EM start for the German U21 in Slovakia’s Nitra, the top hit "Major Tom" echoed from the speakers, just as it did with the A national team. And the match winner stood firmly grounded. "The three goals taste terrific," said Woltemade after the thunderous 3:0 (2:0) victory over Slovenia, casually hiding the match ball under his training jacket: "It was a crucial start."
Sports "Woltemade's Hattrick Hat-trick?" Funny Banter and Questions on Par with Ronaldo's at Press Conference Entering the annals of history, Woltemade soon joined an esteemed club - only the first German U21 player since Luca Waldschmidt in 2019 against Serbia (6:1) to score three goals in an EM game. Even during the EM warm-up against Spain in March, the young striker had already claimed the victory with a hat-trick. "Woltemade's eerie series with us continues," said DFB coach Antonio Di Salvo on Sat.1, while Waldschmidt became the tournament’s top scorer in 2019 with seven goals, only for Germany to lose to Spain (1:2) in the final. The stage has already been set for similar success.
But will Woltemade score another hat-trick against the Czech Republic on Sunday at 9 pm on Sat.1? "I need to dampen the excitement a bit," said Woltemade after scoring in the 19th, 42nd, and 82nd minute - this time from the penalty spot. "But as long as we win, it's completely acceptable for me to continue scoring three goals. However, I don't believe the rhythm will be easy to maintain." Following his awe-inspiring performance, he chose not to entertain speculations about his future. "These are all things I'm not dealing with right now." Rumor has it that top clubs have shown interest.
Football **"Woltemade's Remarkable Run: Germany's U21 Off to a Dream Start at EURO'" Rudi Voeller praises Woltemade for scoring after missed chances during the Nations League. The last German U21 player to score multiple goals at an EURO was Florian Wirtz in the 2021 semi-final against the Netherlands with two goals.
"We didn't quite know what to expect,” said Woltemade. “We didn't know our opponents. So we’re incredibly pleased," he continued, while expressing his pride in the team's unbeaten streak in their last 16 games and their recent flurry of goals in the last five fixtures. This remarkable form seems to ensure an abundance of scoring opportunities for Woltemade.
The striker had been forced to bow out earlier in the 2019 EURO group stage, when Germany U17 lost to Italy 1:3. This time around, however, the start has been much more promising - especially thanks to Woltemade.
