Prömel Backs Baumann as Germany’s World Cup No. 1

Nagelsmann deems the goalkeeper debate unhelpful, citing the team’s steady results.

Overview

  • In an interview with Sport1, Prömel said Germany would have "no problem" if Oliver Baumann were the World Cup starter.
  • He praised Baumann’s consistency, composure and work rate, saying the keeper always believed in this opportunity.
  • Baumann is currently deputizing for Germany with Marc-André ter Stegen sidelined by injury.
  • Nagelsmann said the discussion helps neither Baumann nor the retired Manuel Neuer.
  • After a 1-0 qualifying win in Northern Ireland, the coach noted Germany have not lost any of their last ten matches because of poor goalkeeping.
