"It could end badly": German footballer talks about snakes in the Germany national team's camp in the USA.
"In Germany, you think about tactics, injuries, and the next opponent. Here, you also have to consider what might be lurking in the grass," said Bayern Munich player Joshua Kimmich at a press conference between two matches of the national team.
Earlier, Kimmich and several of his colleagues spotted snakes at the Germany national team's base camp in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, RTVI US reports. "Yesterday we saw a snake; we were told it was venomous. If it bites, you need to go to the hospital," he noted.
The snake in question was apparently a copperhead, a common type of venomous snake in North Carolina, according to ntv. "I don’t think people die from it, but it’s definitely dangerous. I have a feeling that if you step on one of those snakes, it could end badly," Kimmich stated. Previously, Swiss national team players also spotted snakes at their training camp in San Diego.
