For months, the song "Erfolg ist kein Glück" by Kontra K has been pumping up the German national team. Whether in the dressing room, on the bus or now in the stadiums - this track is everywhere. On Thursday, the Berlin star rapper got the boys in the right mood for the round of 16 against Denmark with a concert at the team headquarters.
But that's not all! The DFB always provides plenty of variety at tournaments. There are table football tables and table tennis tables to sweeten the players' free time. And let's not forget the special guests: TV chef Tim Mälzer recently brought his ice cream creations to the team camp, and snack bar owner Arif Keles from Berlin treated players, coaches and support staff to delicious kebabs.
Musical support has also been provided in the past. In 2021, Peter Maffay visited the national team in Herzogenaurach and gave a small concert in the Adidas "Homeground". "We were very happy about that. But, of course, the decisive factor is what happens on the pitch now," said captain Manuel Neuer before the round of 16 match against England, which was unfortunately lost 2-0.
