Schweinsteiger was introduced as a Fire player on Wednesday, but one member of the assembled media caused hilarity as he asked the 32-year-old if he can help Chicago to World Cup glory.
With this question causing a stir, Nowitzki sent his best wishes to his compatriot - who won the World Cup with Germany in 2014 - jokingly urging him to repeat the feat with the Fire.
“Hey Schweini, welcome to the US - proud of you to make that move,” Nowitzki said in a video posted on the Fire’s Twitter account. “Hope everything goes well in Chicago and good luck winning the World Cup.
“I’ll be watching. Go Chicago Fire - good luck, buddy.”
