The next best option for Nagelsmann was called Maximilian Beier, an attacker who impresses with deep runs and pace and less than a classic target player for flank balls in the storm center. But it was precisely these qualities of the former Hoffenheimer who had a decisive effect against Northern Ireland in the development of the second goal and thus also the victory.

Because: Amiri could only promote David Raum’s flank into the empty goal because Beier had previously put a sprint down. In this way, he irritated Northern Ireland’s goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell, who therefore did not really go to the ball and unintentionally let him go for Amiri. Nagelsmann originally didn’t want to rely on Beier. Then he brought him into the team out of no alternative, just to actually have to bring him due to the stiffened attack game of his eleven – ultimately with success. The national coach was therefore literally forced to his own happiness.

Overall, Nagelsmann also simply proved the right sense of choosing his substitutes. Because the decision to bring Amiri for Gnabry brought a new energy into the game that had recently been missing the DFB team so much.

“Nadiem is always on the accelerator pedal, he has always been,” said the national coach afterwards about the player whom he had already trained in Hoffenheim in the youth and in the Bundesliga. Shortly afterwards, Nagelsmann pushed: “He came in and just felt like it.”

What the coach meant by this: Already two minutes after Amiri’s substitution, this two yellow cards had provoked for the northern end. Shortly afterwards he scored his important goal. But the 28-year-old also had a decisive part in the 3-1. A few meters in front of the guests’ penalty area, he took out a free kick for Germany. Florian Wirtz refined Amiri’s indirect template with a fantastic Schlenzer in the Northern Irish goal.

“In the end, the only thing that matters was the victory, and we got it,” Amiri looked back at the game after the final whistle in the catacombs of the arena. He should be right with it, because a further loss of points would have tightened the crisis mood around the national team. The Super-Gau has not occurred at first, the qualification for the World Cup more tangible again-and especially thanks to Nadiem Amiri and Maximilian Beier.
