Frankfurt (Germany), 24 Mar (LaPresse) – The German media in Germany celebrated the young ball boy who played a decisive role in Julian Nagelsmann's national team's double in the Nations League match against Italy (3-3). After a quick corner kick by captain Joshua Kimmich, Jamal Musiala made it 2-0, but the centre of attention ended up being 15-year-old Noel Urbaniak, who set up the goal at lightning speed, passing the ball to Kimmich before the corner surprised the Azzurri while they were busy arguing with the match director. ‘All three of them, Kimmich, Musiala and the ball boy, were absolutely world class. They were very clever, incredibly clever,' said national team coach Nagelsmann. Kimmich also praised the boy: ‘he was very smart, which is not bad in a game like this, he did well’. As a thank you the ball boy received a ball with Kimmich's signature and a photo with the captain.
