Lamine Yamal is another Spanish player who has hives because of the opinion of Jens Lehmann, the former Germany international, who believes that La Roja are a young and innocent team, just like the youth team. “What can I say? He is German, he wants to speak well of his national team and destabilize ours. He helps us more than just helping Germany. The best thing is not to say anything. Go out on the pitch and show that we are capable. Let’s see if we are young and innocent…”, said the 16-year-old Barcelona winger.
Kroos himself, the Mannschaft midfielder, seeks to distance himself from his compatriot’s idea. “Lehmann always has a different opinion. Let’s say, what he says does not represent our way of thinking. Spain has very experienced players, like Rodri, Morata, Nacho and Carvajal,” explains the German.
Stuttgart is a special stage
Stuttgart is the scene of the duel, being a special city for Joselu. “I scored my first Bundesliga goal in Stuttgart [pelo Hoffenheim a 26 de setembro de 2012]“I hope to repeat this achievement…,” said the striker, who will play for Al Gharafa in the 2024/25 season.
