Nagelsmann Encouraged by Germany's Performance Despite 2-2 Draw with Netherlands

Posted : 11 September 2024

Germany's prospects for a strong World Cup performance in 2026 were given a boost following an impressive display against the Netherlands, which earned praise from coach Julian Nagelsmann. Despite a 2-2 draw with the Dutch in their Nations League clash, Nagelsmann was pleased with what he described as a "next step in development" for his team.

 

Since their World Cup victory in Brazil a decade ago, Germany has struggled, with underwhelming performances in the past two tournaments. Last year, the team faced a crisis when Hansi Flick was dismissed and Nagelsmann took over. Although there has been progress, Germany's campaign in the European Championship, which they hosted, ended in the quarterfinals.

 

Looking ahead to the 2026 World Cup, Nagelsmann is focused on incremental improvements, treating each match as an opportunity to advance. After the team conceded their fastest goal in 50 years—within 100 seconds of kickoff—Nagelsmann acknowledged the importance of every game. He expressed confidence in the team's belief in their capabilities and their determination to win.

 

The coach also noted areas needing work, despite the positive aspects of the match. He highlighted the team's vulnerability in defense and their overly aggressive play at times. Germany began their Nations League campaign with a strong 5-0 victory over Hungary and will next face Bosnia on October 11, followed by a rematch against the Dutch in Munich on October 14.
