The Impact of Julian Nagelsmann on the National Team: Initial Success and Lingering Issues

The change in the coaching bench has obviously made a difference, Julian Nagelsmann has met expectations for the time being. However: problems in the backward movement remain, and the callous nine is still missing. Eight goals in ten games are a good rate for Niclas Füllkrug – but he also missed his best chances against the USA. Nevertheless: The first appearance under Nagelsmann brings back confidence. System, personnel, tactics – everything is important. But even more important: that the national jersey is no longer a ballast for the players, but rather an incentive. Confirmation of first impression desired. Not as a fairy tale, but reality.
