Beware 'two-metre Messi'! Meet the 6ft 6in starlet aiming to fire Germany to U21 glory against England
Two years ago Nick Woltemade found himself on the bench in the third division of German football. Now he is being pursued by Bayern Munich and has the chance to break English hearts on Saturday night. Woltemade, 23, or Woltemessi as his Stuttgart team-mates call him, is deceiving in that his 6ft 6in frame does not tell the story of his capabilities. There is a grace and elegance to his technique on the ball which has drawn comparisons with Jamal Musiala, and his pace and dribbling are also typical of a tricky winger a foot shorter. 'His combination of skills is special; you rarely see that,' Stuttgart boss Sebastian Hoeness has said of Woltemade, this tournament's top scorer with six goals. 'He has very fast feet, good ball control and strong dribbling.' Although he dislikes his Messi nicknames — two-metre Messi is another — he is unique among Germany's young stars. His six goals here have varied: three with his right foot, one with his left and two with his head. Useful as a second striker, as an all-out No 9 or playing at No 10, England's toughest assignment has been saved for the final.

Stuttgart's Stiller: Ankle injury 'not important' after Cup win
Stuttgart's Angelo Stiller takes part in the team's training session at the Olympic Stadium, ahead of the DFB Cup final match soccer match against Arminia Bielefeld. Soeren Stache/dpa VfB Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller is not worried about his ankle injury after the German Cup win and not thinking about the Nations League with Germany just yet. "Not important," he said when asked by reporters about his ankle after providing two assists in the 4-2 win against third-division Arminia Bielefeld on Saturday. Advertisement Stiller was doubtful for the match after he suffered a minor ligament injury in the Bundesliga match against Augsburg on May 11. But he was fit enough to be in the starting line-up against Bielefeld. "We knew that if he could play, he would play well," coach Sebastian Hoeness said. The midfielder, however, admitted that things felt a bit difficult after playing for some time. "First half was good, it was clear that I wanted to play. A Cup final is always something special," the player said. "From the 60th minute onwards, once it became more physically demanding, I noticed it. I wanted to come off, but that was no longer possible. But it doesn't matter, the main thing is that we won," he added. Advertisement Stiller was included in coach Julian Nagelsmann's squad for the Nations League Final Four on June 4-8 on home soil, in which Germany face Portugal in the semi-finals. It's unclear whether he will be able to play, but that's not a concern for him at the moment. "I don't know right now. I'm not thinking about that right now. I want to celebrate and that's enough," he said. Asked if he had a drink preference, Still initially said: "I think I prefer not to reveal that," but then said that German digestif Jägermeister is his number one choice. "Now the party will start," he said before heading to the bus to join his team-mates in the post-game celebrations.

'Up for anything': Stuttgart eye Berlin nightlife after cup triumph
Coach Sebastian Hoeness said his Stuttgart side were set for a taste of Berlin's notorious nightlife after Saturday's German Cup win over Arminia Bielefeld. A brace from Enzo Millot and goals from Nick Woltemade and Deniz Undav took Stuttgart to a 4-2 win in the German capital, lifting their fourth German Cup and their first trophy since winning the league in 2006-07. Hoeness told reporters he was "up for anything" to celebrate winning the first major trophy of his coaching career, including infamous fetish club Berghain. The legendary nightclub, known for techno music, leather parties and a complete ban on cameras, is a fixture in Berlin's nightlife landscape, but also has a famously exclusive door policy. "Who knows? But let's see if we can get in. Will take the trophy with us, but it probably won't make a difference for the bouncers." Hoeness was showered with beer and champagne by his charges at the end of the post-match press conference, as has become a cup final tradition. Stuttgart striker Undav said his side would get their official commitments out of the way quickly. The Germany forward said he "won't be there long" at the club's official banquet before painting the town. "If they're lucky, they'll see us for 10 minutes then we're out." dwi/nr
