This is what German fans will like to read: Nils Petersen, the record joker of the Bundesliga and legend of SC Freiburg, believes in the World Cup title for the German national team. Behind Nils Petersen lies an exciting end-of-season surge - and that, although the former SC Freiburg player had already ended his active professional career three years ago. As a fan and TV expert, the best joker in Bundesliga history was, however, right in the middle of the big games. First, he was in Istanbul to attend the historic Europa League final of his former club SC Freiburg against Aston Villa. As can be seen on his Instagram account, Petersen had a lot of fun in the metropolis on the Bosporus, even if it was not the end with the coveted title for the sports club. A few days later, the 37-year-old then traveled to Budapest on business. At the streaming provider DAZN, he accompanied the Champions League final between Paris St. Germain and Arsenal as an expert. In between, he also kicked himself, in the Kreisliga B for the Sportfreunde Oberried II. ## No summer break in the WM year And now: summer break? Not a chance. Because even during the World Cup, Nils Petersen is a sought-after conversation partner and evaluates the events around the German national team for the specialist magazine Kicker. „My entire environment thought I had more time, could maybe also catch up on things that had fallen short or been too short during the career“, said Petersen to the Kicker about his tight program around football. As a World Cup expert, he also has a World Cup tip that many German fans will like to read. „I say: Germany will win the World Cup! They will surprise everyone. I think the competition is strong, but there is no nation that we need to hide from. That's why some may laugh at the tip, but in the end, I will be right“, Petersen is convinced.
