The German trio have qualified for the knockout round of the FIFAe Nations Cup in FIFA 23. Umut “RBLZ_Umut” Gültekin, Levy Finn “Levyfinn” Rieck and Dylan “DullenMIKE” Neuhausen finished second in their group at the Nations Tournament.
“It’s very different, we haven’t practiced much,” said Umut in an interview on the FIFAe livestream between games in Riyadh. A few days ago he triumphed with RB Leipzig in the FIFAe Club World Cup. So he trained a lot with his duo partner Anders “RBLZ_Vejrgang” Vejrgang – who represents Denmark at the Nations Cup.
The two could now meet as rivals in the second round of knockouts. “It would be crazy to play against my team-mate,” said Umut, smiling.
The next task for the DFB trio seems feasible on paper: Finland only came third in its group. The German squad is clearly more top-class. Denmark meets a tougher chunk with Brazil, the Seleção could prevent the duel of the world champions from Leipzig.
Probably the biggest surprises in the group stage: Spain and Portugal were eliminated early from the tournament.
