Some players of the German U21 national team fly the Essen star hairdresser Mustafasi to Italy against Denmark (21 o’clock in the LIVETICKER) before the start of the European Championship on Monday. That’s what the picture says.
“When he arrives at the hotel, for example, at 6 p.m., all the players are looking forward to it, and he doesn’t disturb the game,” Hoffenheim’s midfielder Nadiem Amiri is quoted as saying.
Stefan Kuntz seems to take it easy. “It’s just part of the youth today,” said the junior national coach.
The U21 is thus following in the footsteps of Borussia Dortmund. Some BVB stars had their hair cut by an extra hairdresser before the Champions League match at Tottenham Hotspur in February. The Borussians then experienced a 3-0 debacle.
The U21 team, which will face Serbia and Austria in the preliminary round alongside Denmark, want to do better. By the way: Should the team make it to the semi-finals, according to the report, hairdresser Mustafasi will come back again.
