Julian Nagelsmann has been a national coach for over a year and a half. Since then he has found a significant change in the mentality of his players.
According to Julian Nagelsmann, the German national team has taken a significant step forward in recent months. At the awarding of the Sepp-Herberger Awards in Wolfsburg, the national coach spoke about a grown team spirit-and new ambitions.
“I now have the feeling that I get into a bus and see a team who knows: we will win,” said the 37-year-old. The situation looked very different a year ago. At that time he perceived a team that had doubts: “It will be tight” was the mood at the time.
Nagelsmann wants to take the next development step at the Nation’s League finals from June June 8th, which will be held in Germany. According to the national coach, the goal is to “create a foundation to become a title freater”. He referred to the last tournament winners: Argentina and Spain had usually won almost everything before their triumphs. Something “about victories” develops, said Nagelsmann.
In the semi -finals of the Nations League, the German selection meets Portugal on June 4th in Munich. A day later, Spain and France play against each other in Stuttgart.
However, it is not primarily about the title. According to Nagelsmann, the Nations League is “a small title, we all are aware of that”. Rather, he wanted to establish a new self -image within the team: not only keeping up against each opponent, but to be able to win. Because those who qualify for the World Cup, but have previously had many bad results, will find it difficult, according to Nagelsmann, to go into the tournament in North America in North America in 2026.
