Jean-Marie Pfaff, the legendary Belgian goalkeeper, will be in attendance at the Cologne stadium for the test match between Germany and Belgium on Tuesday. The Vice-European champion with Belgium in 1980 was invited by the DFB and is eagerly anticipating the game.
The 69-year-old’s attention will be on Marc-André ter Stegen, the world goalkeeper from 1987 in the DFB box. Pfaff has a clear requirement for the Barcelona professional, stating that he needs more charisma and has to be a lot louder on the field to direct the team from behind for 90 minutes and read the game.
Pfaff believes that playing at the European Championships is still a long way off and that it is uncertain whether Manuel Neuer or Ter Stegen will play. Pfaff demands that national coach Tedesco take part in the European Championship and believes that Belgium has a lot of strong players that could field two teams.
Pfaff’s heart still belongs to his former club FC Bayern, and he was surprised by the change of coach from Julian Nagelsmann to Thomas Tuchel, stating that it was not FC Bayern’s style. He expected the season to end with Nagelsmann before assessing the situation from a distance.
In conclusion, Pfaff is excited about the upcoming game between Germany and Belgium and believes in the potential of the Belgian team. It is always a highlight when two footballing nations clash, and this game will be no different.
