With three famous goals in the victory of the German U21 against Spain, Stuttgart’s aspiring striker Nick Woltemade shows that he has a rare cocktail of virtues – and has long since been appointed to higher.
SV Werder has a special relationship with Brazilians, and not only because of players like Aílton, Júlio César, the “Chaos Alberto”, called Carlos Alberto or the Diego, who has just been honored in Bremen. The Bundesliga club even had a Brazilian honorary: the “Ostfriesen-Alemão” Dieter Eilts. Wherever the Weser avoids a big arc, they now also know that they could have had a “Hanseatic Sócrates” in the present: Nick Woltemade, 23, born in Bremen, was Werderaner from 2010 to 2024-but then switched to Stuttgart.
