Grandma Helga Keller is proud of her grandson Nico Schlotterbeck's international debut.

The appearance of the DFB striker was a "disaster".

Sinsheim – A dream has come true for Nico Schlotterbeck.

The SC Freiburg defender was allowed to play for the German national team for the first time on Saturday - and that in front of the whole family.

But the 22-year-old probably didn't expect his grandmother's relentless analysis after the 2-0 win in the friendly against Israel.

However, Grandma Schlotterbeck did not target her grandson, but the DFB striker.

"The strikers, that's a disaster.

The flick must have almost had a heart attack, which they couldn't get in," complained Helga Keller, Nico Schlotterbeck's grandmother, after the international match of the DFB-Elf in an interview with SWR.

The older lady didn't mince her words, but couldn't help but laugh.

Schlotterbeck's grandparents came back to the stadium for the first time in three years to see their grandson live.

Kai Havertz and Timo Werner scored the only two goals of the game in the first half.

In the second period, the team of national coach Hansi Flick actually acted too half-heartedly, which Schlotterbeck's grandmother apparently didn't like at all.

To make matters worse, Thomas Müller missed a penalty shortly before the end.

Despite the penalty foul: Grandma Schlotterbeck is proud of her grandson

Speaking of penalties.

In injury time, Nico Schlotterbeck caused an unnecessary penalty after a mistake.

"Yes, good.

Thank God he's not pure.

If he extends his feet...", Helga Keller explained the lack of concentration of her grandson.

Substitute goalkeeper Kevin Trapp was able to defuse the due penalty.

Flick, on the other hand, was harsh on Schlotterbeck after the game.

Otherwise, the Schlotterbeck grandmother attested the debutant a good game, he had the ball a lot.

Proud of the grandson?

"And how," beamed Grandma Keller.

In fact, the central defender didn't have much to do in defence, but he enlivened the attacking game of the DFB team with his fresh manner and offensive defense.

Schlotterbeck was especially happy to celebrate his debut in the national team in front of his family.

"I actually had to get between 35 and 40 tickets," said Schlotterbeck after the game.

"I'm really proud that they support me like that."

“My parents, my brother and my uncle are there.

Grandma and Grandpa are coming back to the stadium for the first time in three years, they're not so good on their feet anymore.

I hope they will see me on the pitch," said Schlotterbeck before the game.

In any case, Grandma Helga took a close look and is proud of her grandson, the strikers were less appealing to her.

DFB team: Nico Schlotterback before the next assignment against Holland

Schlotterbeck could play his second international match on Tuesday (March 29).

However, the DFB team meets the Netherlands in Amsterdam.

Grandma Schlotterbeck will then probably examine the game in front of the television.

You might even find her in the Allianz Arena soon, because Nico Schlotterbeck was recently linked to a transfer to FC Bayern.
