Kimmich reassures Collins: Predicts Hundred More International Games for Him - Bayern Munich star, Kimmich, reassures fellow player Collins, stating he has the potential to play in 100 international games.
In a challenging start to his international career, 21-year-old Nnamdi Collins from Eintracht Frankfurt faced a tough test during Germany's match against Slovakia. The young defender, who was newly included in the German national team alongside experienced players like Robin Koch, Paul Nebel, and Finn Dahmen in August 2025, found himself as a defensive weak point in the 0-2 loss.
Julian Nagelsmann, the Bundestrainer, substituted Collins at halftime, recognising the difficulties he faced during the match. Despite the unsuccessful debut, fellow international player Joshua Kimmich, who himself had a poor performance in a match against Slovakia during the 2016 Euros, offered words of encouragement to Collins.
Kimmich, who made his international debut for the German Football National Team over nine years ago, defended Collins and told him that he has the potential to make 100 international appearances for the team. The captain of the national team expressed understanding for Collins' struggles, noting that he missed the support for the still immature Collins internationally.
However, it appears that Collins lacked the necessary support from his experienced teammates during the match. While the name of the player or players who failed to offer support is not explicitly stated, it is clear that internationally experienced teammates like Antonio Rüdiger were present but did not provide the necessary assistance.
Nagelsmann acknowledged Collins' performance, stating that he wasn't any worse than the rest of the team during his debut. Despite the loss, the national coach expressed optimism for Collins' future, noting that he could potentially make 100 international appearances for the German Football National Team.
As Collins continues to grow and develop, the support and encouragement from experienced players like Kimmich will undoubtedly play a crucial role in his journey with the German national team.
