‘He can be special’ – Woltemade needed as Newcastle fans turn on Isak

Alexander Isak was not visible. Evidently. However, Newcastle United’s well-known absentee did not avoid Elland Road’s wrath.

During Saturday’s goalless draw against Leeds United, supporters chanted, “We don’t care about Isak.” He says, “All we care about is NUFC, not me”

What a contrast to Nick Woltemade’s reception, which was record signing.

Fans gathered outside the stadium to watch the new arrival and were mobbed as he made his way into the stadium before the game, indicating that Liverpool will need to use the striker, particularly if Isak becomes available, before the window closes on Monday evening.

After all, Newcastle only managed a few shots on target at Elland Road, and they have only managed two goals in their first three Premier League games, securing two points out of a possible nine.

How Newcastle could have used Woltemade on Saturday, but the forward’s £69m move from Stuttgart was delayed, so he watched from the directors’ box.

Woltemade will naturally require a “period of adjustment,” but Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe has backed his abilities to “translate” to the Premier League.

He stated on BBC Radio 5 Live, “I like his different dimensions to his game. He has “absolutely good technical skills and really good creative ideas around the box,” he says. “Of course, he has a big presence, he’s a big man.

What can Newcastle expect, then?

Woltemade once said he “likes to be an entertainer.” The German’s birthday being celebrated by club legend Kevin Keegan is fitting, then.

Woltemade is not just a battering ram, despite having the appearance of a target man who is 6’6in tall. In fact, quite the opposite.

Due to his dribbling prowess, Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer gave this towering striker the nickname Woltemessi.

Few people are as adept at demonstrating that skill set as Antonio di Salvo, who helped Germany defeat Germany in the under-21 Euros final last month with the help of Woltemade’s six goals.

Despite his size, Nick is technically competent, both as a striker and a number 10, he claimed. He has worked hard to increase his presence on the pitch and in the penalty area over the past two years, and most importantly, he has significantly improved his finishing.

He poses a constant threat to your goals because of his extreme versatility and versatility. His inventiveness makes him incredibly unpredictable for opponents throughout the game, resulting in unanticipated moments throughout the course of play.

However, both talent and determination have been at the heart of this story.

For instance, Woltemade was exempt from Stuttgart’s Champions League squad last year because of rules governing players who were club-trained, but the striker privately declared that his “time would come.”

Woltemade’s inclusion in Newcastle’s upcoming game against Barcelona at St James’ Park next month is a significant improvement for a player who was on loan at German third division side SV Elversberg two and a half years ago.

After coaching Woltemade with Werder Bremen’s under-19s, Marco Grote was “convinced for years that he can be a special player.”

Woltemade did, however, become a household name in his native country last season.

Woltemade scored 17 goals in 33 games, including the German Cup final, as the center-forward won the first major trophy of his career, working closely with Stuttgart manager Sebastian Hoeness on the training pitch and in the video analysis room.

Woltemade then ignited the under-21 competition last month, winning the trophy for Germany in the final, only to lose to England with a score of 3-2.

Before Newcastle scored a club-record $65 million plus $4 million in add-ons this week, Bayern Munich felt motivated enough to make several unsuccessful bids.

After seeing targets Hugo Ekitike, Benjamin Sesko, and Joao Pedro relocate elsewhere this summer, Newcastle had to act given the situation with Isak and the limited amount of time left.

Ironically, Isak’s arrival three years ago has some similarities.

Isak joined Newcastle in the final days of the transfer window without much time to settle, making him also Newcastle’s most expensive signing of all time.

The Swede, however, had long been regarded as one of the continent’s top prospects and, crucially, had international playing experience.

Woltemade, on the other hand, has never played outside of Germany, so his potential debut against Wolves next month will have only been benefited from a few training sessions with his new team-mates.

However, he has potential to continue to prosper in the right hands.

Grote said, “He understands the game.” He “handles the team and the coaches.” He has ambitions, wants to improve, and wants to learn more. He enjoys playing. He has a talent, but he put in a lot of effort to advance.

Woltemade’s departure from his country for the first time is undoubtedly a significant step in more ways than one.

Woltemade’s former employers describe him as a “family man,” and his parents took him on a tour of St James’ Park on Friday and watched his new team’s action at Elland Road the following day. He even made a nod to his mother’s birthdate, which is 27.

The checks Newcastle conducted on Woltemade made those family values clear, and Howe valued his new signing’s character more than his ability to find the back of the net.

After all, Howe is wary of dissipating from a tight-knit dressing room, but Woltemade fits right in, according to Di Salvo.

The manager of the Germany Under-21s said, “Nick was very popular in our team because of his very good, reflected, humorous, and down-to-earth character. He frequently struck me as a magnet, a person who could unite opposing viewpoints.

He was “the glue that kept the team together,” he said in a statement. “He did it naturally.” I have always valued him as a significant contact when working with coaches.
