He canceled his summer vacation to prepare for the Euros, but he didn't make the final roster.
The German national team came from behind to win 2-1 against Greece in a friendly at Borussia Park in Mönchengladbach, Germany, at 3:45 a.m. ET on Aug. 8.
The victory was Germany's last friendly before the European Football Association (UEFA) Euro 2024 on home soil on June 15. The Germans overcame a 33rd-minute concession to win 2-1 thanks to second-half goals from Kai Havertz and Pascal Gross.
Ahead of the match, the German Football Federation (DFB) unveiled and officially announced the final 26-man roster for Euro 2024. Goalkeeper Alexander Nubel, who was named to the preliminary roster, was left out.
The 1996-born goalkeeper played for FC Schalke 04 from 2016 to 2020 before moving to Bayern Munich. He hasn't played much in Munich. He was unable to win the competition for the starting job because the 'legend' Manuel Neuer was still in form. Nibel spent the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 seasons on loan at AS Monaco before joining Stuttgart for the 2023-2024 season.
In the goalkeeper's gloves for Stuttgart, Nubel excelled. 안전놀이터 추천 In 29 league appearances, he kept 10 clean sheets and conceded just 36 goals, making him one of the top performers in the Bundesliga alongside Gregor Kovel and Neuer. Nubel's performances helped Stuttgart qualify for the UEFA Champions League for the first time since 2010.
In fact, Nubel has plans to take a vacation after the season. According to a report by Germany's Get Football News, he was planning to travel to Tanzania, a country in eastern Africa, to go on safari, but this was canceled. This is because Nubel has been named to the preliminary roster of the German national team for Euro 2024.
“Head coach Julian Nagelsmann has named a 27-man preliminary roster for the Euro ahead of the tournament at home,” Germany's Sky Sports reported on March 16. He plans to leave out one field player to make the final 26-man roster.” Goalkeeper Nubel will therefore be the team's fourth goalkeeper at the Euros.
According to reports, Nagelsmann had expressed his intention to go with four goalkeepers at the tournament.
At the time, Nubel said: “Something very surprising happened to me. My vacation was already specifically planned, but I canceled it all. It means a lot to me to be named in the squad for Germany,” he said.
"I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone in the national team and enjoying the good atmosphere. I want to have a good time and experience a great summer,” he said.
Nübel will be joined at the tournament by three other German teammates, Manuel Neuer, Oliver Baumann, and Marc-André Ter Stegen.
