On the sidelines of the European Championships, an unpleasant moment took place between Klaas Heufer-Umlauf and Julian Nagelsmann. Scenes that the TV star did not leave uncommented.
At the European Championship group match against Switzerland on Sunday, June 23, numerous celebrities were sitting in the stands. Klaas Heufer-Umlauf also did not miss the football match in the Frankfurt stadium. At the end of the match, the German national team was declared group winners. Actually a good reason to celebrate, but Klaas Heufer-Umlauf had little to laugh about after the final whistle.
Numerous social media videos show the ProSieben star holding out his hand in joyful anticipation as national coach Julian Nagelsmann rushed to the stands afterwards. He apparently thought the 36-year-old wanted to greet him – a misjudgment. Nagelsmann shook his hand, but then pushed him aside to hug his brother André. You can see the scenes here. Now Heufer-Umlauf is commenting on the public rejection.
Over a week has passed since the situation. But only now are the images going viral. Klaas Heufer-Umlauf is now also thinking back to the day in his Instagram story. The 40-year-old shares a photo that shows him together with football star Toni Kroos. The two are walking side by side through the interior of Frankfurt’s Waldstadion. They have a smile on their faces.
In the text of his social media post, Klaas Heufer-Umlauf cannot resist taking a swipe at Julian Nagelsmann: “After a warm welcome from Julian Nagelsmann, I am going through the game with him again, minute by minute. He was very excited, but grateful,” said the TV star.
Klaas Heufer-Umlauf’s reaction was a hit with his followers. “Klaas is now showing us how to deal with it. Very ingenious,” “Simply wonderful,” and “I was finally able to laugh properly again,” are just a few of the comments.
Klaas Heufer-Umlauf has often admitted in the past that he is not a football expert. He once made a name for himself with a humorous appearance on the Sport1 format “Doppelpass”. In front of the cameras, he pretended to be a Wolfsburg fan and introduced the phrase “Gut Kick” – which he now uses as a hashtag in his latest Instagram post.
