According to Bild, the German team returned to Winston-Salem after their 7-1 victory over Curacao, accompanied not only by national players but also by many players' wives, girlfriends, and families. Germany coach Nagelsmann also brought his wife Lena and mother Burgi, and the team will first arrange for recovery and rest.
After their 7-1 victory over Curacao in Houston, the German national team returned to Winston-Salem at 9:03 PM local time. Not only German players but also many players' wives and girlfriends disembarked from the plane. According to Bild, these players' families were allowed to stay at Graylyn Estate, the German national team's accommodation during this tournament, the night before Monday local time.
When Schlotterbeck disembarked, his wife Sabrina and their child were by his side. Tah also traveled with his partner Luisa. Wirtz and Urbich also disembarked with their girlfriends Aliyah and Katharina, respectively.
Coach Nagelsmann brought double support. His wife Lena wore a green German team T-shirt with the German flag painted on her cheek. Nagelsmann's mother Burgi also flew with the team from Houston to Winston-Salem.
Previously at NRG Stadium in Houston, many German players' families were already seen in the stands, including Wirtz's parents, Musiala's mother, the Voltemade family, the Stiller family, the Braun family, and the Beier family.
Nagelsmann is now giving himself and the players time with their loved ones. The German team only scheduled a relaxed recovery training session on Monday local time, and the entire team will have a day off on Tuesday. From Wednesday onwards, the team will fully enter preparation for their second group stage match. Germany will play against Ivory Coast in Toronto. In addition, the German team's flight from Houston to Winston-Salem was delayed by 45 minutes. The reason was that after the 7-1 victory, the German national players spent significantly more time than originally planned on interviews and media events.
