Germany seems to have finally found a rhythm and completed a seven-game win streak under head coach Julian Nagelsmann with a 2-1 victory over Ghana on Monday.
However, the match, the final international friendly this month in preparation for this summer’s World Cup, was marred by a few negatives — the most notable of which was the home fans booing one of their own players, Leroy Sané. The 30-year-old Galatasaray winger was a 79th-minute sub but before he could take even a single touch, was already
greeted by boos.
In the aftermath, Germany teammates Deniz Undav and Alexander Nübel stood up for Sané and the coach too has joined in echoing the team’s criticism of the home fans.
“Booing him before he even had his first touch of the ball, I don’t think that’s fair”, said Nagelsmann (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
For his part, Sané shrugged off the negativity. The former Bayern Munich man went on to assist Undav’s game-winning goal in the 89th minute and celebrated with his teammates. At the end of the day, such actions show the Stuttgart and German supporters in a very poor light.
