Fans turn on Juventus star after shocking miss

After Nicolas Woltemade missed an open goal during Germany's match against Serbia, fans have turned their anger towards the Juventus striker. Woltemade, who recently joined Juventus on loan from Newcastle United, has yet to reach his peak form at the club, making his selection for the national team a surprise. Germany possesses numerous talented players, and Jurgen Klopp even named two squads for the international window without including Nicolò Tresoldi, who plays for Club Brugge and opted to commit to Germany despite being born in Italy.

The German fans' criticism of Woltemade's selection focuses on his limited impact since joining Juventus. His failure to score the crucial goal has intensified the scrutiny on his place in the Germany squad, as fans question whether other players should have been given a chance instead. Woltemade's goal for Juventus against NEC in the Europa League is his only one for the club so far, but Juventus need more consistent performances from him to establish his presence at the team and continue earning opportunities with Germany.

As Woltemade returns from international duty, his performances will be crucial for both his club and national team development. He must put the criticism behind him and focus on improving his form, as Juventus hope he can regain his best form and contribute more regularly to the team.
