The ball boy who was the secret to the German goal that shocked the Italians
Noel, 15, explains what happened in Germany-Italy, on his debut in the role; he passed the ball to Kimmich for a ridiculous goal
The goal that Germany scored this Sunday against Italy has already gone around the world : great save by Donnarumma everyone preparing the corner, quick replacement by the Germans and goal by Musiala .
But what allowed them to quickly take advantage of the distraction of the azurri and quickly score the field goal? Quick-thinking 15-year-old catcher Noel – making his debut in the role! -, who quickly gave the ball to Kimmich to take the corner while the Italian goalkeeper corrected the defense.
Noel explained the moment to Bild: ‘I had eye contact with Kimmich and immediately threw the ball to him. He placed her on the ground and crossed her to Musiala. Two or three minutes later, my parents texted me: ‘You’re on TV’! I was in shock, it was really spectacular!»
At the end he received a ball signed by Kimmich: «We had a brief meeting. He thanked me for my assistance, so to speak, and signed the ball for me. I will never forget that debut.»
