Federal Defense Minister Boris Pistorius demonstrated significantly more skill on the goal wall in the ZDF “Sportstudio” than the British Prince Harry.
The 63-year-old SPD minister hit the lower hole in the wall twice on Sunday night, and narrowly missed it several times. Harry (38), on the other hand, didn’t score at all – and had already suspected that. The prince took a deep breath and asked the team of moderators what would happen if they had zero hits at the end. “Why do I have to start?” he asked at the beginning. And when he passed the ball to Pistorius after the first three misses, he commented on the quality of the ball: “It’s nothing.”
Alluding to a previously shown article criticizing national soccer coach Hansi Flick after the national team lost the game, Harry finally said to Pistorius with a laugh: “Is that the new soccer coach for Germany now? You can still do that on the side. The man for all occasions, so to speak.”
Harry and Pistorius were guests in the “Sportstudio” on the occasion of the Invictus Games. The sporting competitions for disabled soldiers opened on Saturday in Düsseldorf.
