German Sueddeutsche spread such information: the 19-year-old Lucas Hufnagel who has the Georgian passport and has played for the Georgian U-17 and U-19 teams is called up for the German U-19 team.

Central midfielder Lucas plays for “Unterhaching” of the German 3 Liga. He had debut in the main team against leader “Karlsruher”.

The German website cited the words of Manfred Schwabi, president of “Unterhaching”:

“The Georgian fans will not like it but I hope they will understand it. Hufnagel has a perspective of playing for the German team”.

Schwabi has played for the German team. He has held 4 matches in 1987-1988.

Christian Ziege coaches the German U-19 team.

Of course, we got interested what Lucas thinks about it. “World Sport” contacted Pikria Aptsiauri, mother of the football player, to Munich and she told us that Lucas wants to play for the Georgian U-19 team.

Aptsiauri told us Ziege sent invitation to Lucas but the football player will leave for Belgium with the Georgian U-19 team coached by Gia Tsetsadze. Elite round will start at the end of May.

We approve the choice of Lucas. The president of “Unterhaching” will receive bigger dividends from the football player of the German age team. The agent of Lucas wants the football player to choose the German team.

Lucas has 1+1 contract with “Unterhaching”. It expires this summer.
