Fabian Nürnberger now has three appearances in the Bulgarian national team. Already during his time in Nürnberg there was repeated contact between the Bulgarian association and the left-footed player. Since he started playing for the Lilies, this has become more intense. Playing for the national team is “definitely something different,” explained Nürnberger in a media round on Wednesday and added, with a view to the first games in the national team: “That certainly gave me a little push.”
With Nürnberger on the pitch, Bulgaria is still unbeaten and things are currently going more than passably for the 25-year-old in Darmstadt. Also thanks to the new coaching team around Florian Kohfeldt: “There are a lot of new processes and you can develop well individually under him.”
The team has fun off the pitch, especially on the table tennis table. “I hate to praise him, but Vukotic is already the best. But no wonder with the long arms.” Nürnberger also sees himself and coach Kohfeldt very high up in the team.
