Before being named to the national team, Mr. Asamoah said, he would encounter doormen at German nightclubs who simply told him, ''You're not coming in.''
But there is still resistance, particularly from conservatives, to diluting the homogeneous image of a German Volk.
''The team is a treasure of the nation, and it's also a symbol of how German people think about their country,'' said Till Briegleb, a culture columnist for Die Woche, a national weekly, who has written about Mr. Asamoah. ''I think this will be a symbol for other, maybe Turkish, maybe black players who will say, 'This is possible.' ''
Maybe Asamoah will change hearts and minds.
They still have a Black player on the roster.
