Why DFB fans laughed at Werner
Kimmich and Goretzka: “Don’t know if it ever worked properly”

The German national soccer team has to accept a deserved defeat against Belgium. During the friendly in Cologne, an average of 6.96 million TV viewers saw what the DFB team lacked.
With a 2-3 defeat against Belgium the German national team left this international tour. Strange things happened before, during and after the kick SPORTS1 summarized.
Werner’s paper plane, de Bruyne’s TV confession and a naked Belgian – what you see in Germany’s test game bankruptcy did not see on TV!
Choreo breakdown before kick-off!
Before kick-off, the national team fan club formed the word “will” out of black and white plastic slips. The caption read: “Leads to success. Let’s go to the summer fairy tale of 2024.” Not all fans held up the notes, which is why the word wasn’t clear enough to see.
The choreo of the DFB fans
To make matters worse, many supporters threw away the note before the team arrived. As a rule, the fans of the Bundesliga clubs keep the choreos going until kick-off. As with the performance of the players, there is definitely still room for improvement.
DFB fans laugh at Werner!
Some fans made paper airplanes out of the slips of paper and threw them down the stands. A plane even made it onto the field in the 4th minute of the game, which was loudly celebrated by some of the 42,910 fans in Cologne.
Curious: Striker Timo Werner picked up the plane about 20 meters from the touchline during a break in play and wanted to throw it out of the field – didn’t work! The paper mill fell right at his feet, which made the fans laugh.
De Bruyne with crazy TV confession!
Kevin De Bruyne is a football star, captain for Belgium and Manchester City and a real goalscorer – the only thing the ex-Wolfsburg resident doesn’t like is football that much.
“I don’t watch football that much, I have to say. I have three small children at home, so it’s difficult,” said the scorer in one go after the game SPORTS1-Interview in der Mixed Zone.
The 31-year-old attacker said of the new coach Domenico Tedesco: “He is very positive. It’s not easy for him to get into a team with new players. We showed good performances in both games, he set some accents.”
Belgium star runs naked through the mixed zone!
Huh, what was going on there? Arthur Theate caused astonishment after the final whistle. The Belgian centre-back, who kicks for Stade Rennes, ran naked through the mixed zone after the game – only with a white towel around his waist – past all the journalists.
The 22-year-old curly head ran up the stairs towards the exit and came back shortly afterwards. Who or what he was looking for remains his secret.
DFB employee helps Lukaku
The German defenders just couldn’t get a grip on Romelu Lukaku. The Inter star, who made it 2-0 in the meantime, left the stadium fully laden. The 29-year-old had several backpacks and tote bags in his hand, as well as a trolley case – too much luggage!
A DFB employee helped Lukaku and brought his things to the car through the underground car park. “Merci beaucoup,” said the Chelsea loanee. On Saturday, the goalscorer plays with Inter against Fiorentina.
Bayern stars fly to Munich in a private jet
Short interviews, a quick shower and away: The national players were in a hurry after the final whistle and wanted to go home immediately. Crisp league games are coming up again at the weekend. The Bayern stars flew back to Munich together in a private jet that night.
Leon Goretzka, who had to be substituted, left the dressing room as one of the last Bayern stars at 11:24 p.m. and gave the all-clear: “It should be enough for Saturday.”
