1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 9th European League third place match, Germany 0-2 France. After the game, German coach Nagelsmann summarized the game.

Talking about the gains of the European League semi-finals

“This game is obviously much better than the previous game, and we have improved in all aspects. Scoring is also part of it. We have created many opportunities, but we are not sure. However, our performance is good. In the World Cup next time, we cannot relax at all, and hope we can advance smoothly.”

Outlook for the future

There is a few percentage points gap between us and the world’s top teams. We cannot change the world football landscape in two years, and we cannot make up for the lost time in the past eight years. Some positions in German football have been overlooked, such as wingers or fullbacks. But I can feel that there is something special in this team, and they still have huge potential to explore. We have always been aware that this will be a long road, but it is the same for competitors.”

Talking about the World Cup Year

“Rhythm and experience are the key to ensuring we have a good team, and we will bring players with them to the World Cup. We also need to rely on the club to do a good job and give players enough time to play.”

Many players are absent due to injuries. The Club World Cup is coming. Are you worried?

“As the head coach of the national team, this mood is inevitable. Of course, if the players are healthy, the chances of playing well in the World Cup will be greatly increased. However, if six potential main players are injured, the possibility of the team performing well will be reduced. Football is a contact sport, and in high-intensity games, injuries are inevitable. I hope all players can return healthy.”

Talking about Wagner’s departure, Hubner took over as assistant coach

“Wagner did a good job, we were reluctant to let him leave, we had a lot of discussions about this. He is a leader, eager to and need to be a head coach, I believe he will do a great job in Augsburg, and our coaching team needs to be more streamlined and efficient. Hubner also doesn’t have much coaching experience, but this is not a requirement for me. He knows the situation in the locker room very well, is an excellent character, has a sense of humor, and can understand the players well.”
