Nadiem Amiri: 'Never Thought I'd Be at the World Cup'

The substitute set up Deniz Undav's equalizer as Germany won 2-1 and advanced to the knockout stage with a perfect Group E record.

  • On June 20, Germany secured top spot in Group E with a 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast in Toronto, as substitute Nadiem Amiri delivered a crucial assist for Deniz Undav to equalize.
  • Coach Julian Nagelsmann selected Amiri for the squad after his 12-goal Bundesliga season, relying on a professional bond formed 14 years ago at Hoffenheim.
  • Nagelsmann noted Amiri can "spark something" after the 70th minute, and the midfielder celebrated his World Cup debut by assisting a goal in front of 20 family members in Toronto.
  • Germany prepares for their final group match against Ecuador on June 25, though Nagelsmann must adjust his lineup following defender Nico Schlotterbeck's injury and criticism of midfielder Jamal Musiala.
  • Amiri stated the team approaches the Ecuador match "like a final" to maintain winning momentum, expressing readiness to contribute whenever deployed during the World Cup.
