However, there will still be a few changes in the squad, after all, there are also “a few hardship cases that are not currently playing”. According to Nagelsmann, the squad would already be “almost final”. However, he only wants to decide after a meeting with his coaching team, which will take place on Tuesday.
“But in the end there will not be five new ones,” said Nagelsmann. “The players who were there should also get the chances of doing better than last.” He had to “find stability again in order to then also integrate young players,” said Nagelsmann. “And in the end it is the case that we have to go a bit more on shape, more on topicality.”
In this context, Nagelsmann complained about the lack of a central axis due to several serious injuries. “Schlotti, Jamal, Kai, Marc, (Nico Schlotterbeck, Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz and Marc-André ter Stegen; Note d. Red.), They have been missing for five, six, seven months,” said Nagelsmann, and described the dilemma in which he is, as follows: “We have to define axis. define. “
That is why, according to Nagelsmann, “we have to go through shape, over the top, about momentum.” That is exactly what he and his team had done before the European Championship. “And now we will try to bring that in again.” A general axis is “super difficult to define because we always have many injuries in these key positions in the past few months,” said Nagelsmann. “And unfortunately you have to calculate that it is so towards the World Cup. That’s why we have to remain a bit more variable.”
