Goretzka Pledges to Win Back German Fans at 2026 World Cup

Germany midfielder Leon Goretzka admits the team is determined to make up for its disappointing exits at Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022. He says the players feel they have let their fans down and want to restore the unity and excitement that once defined Die Mannschaft. Goretzka emphasises that dwelling on past mistakes won’t help. He and his teammates are focused on rebuilding trust and showing they still belong among football’s elite. “Winning back our fans’ faith is my biggest motivation,” he explains. On coach Julian Nagelsmann’s recent comment that Germany are outside contenders rather than favourites, Goretzka agrees. He believes embracing that underdog status could fuel their drive and ultimately help them reclaim a spot among the tournament favourites.
