With Germany’s captain Joshua Kimmich, Julian Nagelsmann continues to be a right -back despite the various personnel problems. “I have to weigh up: what is the smaller one, what is the larger construction site? At the moment I see no more stable right -back than Josh, especially not after the violation of Benny Henrichs, ”said the national coach in an interview with the“ Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung ”.
On Thursday, Nagelsmann nominated his line -up for the quarter -finals in the Nations League on March 20 and 23 March. In addition to many failures on the offensive such as Florian Wirtz and Kai Havertz, candidates for the sixth position were not fit. It is even speculated via a comeback by Leon Goretzka.
“On the six I have Pascal (big), Angelo (Stiller), Pavlo (Aleksandar Pavlovic), if he is fit, Rob (Andrich), Felix (NMECHA) and other candidates. That is the smaller construction site. That’s why I first stick to it, ”said Nagelsmann about his considerations in the central position.
Nagelsmann praises Kimmich for emotionality
Kimmich had recently shown outstanding achievements in defensive midfield at Bayern Munich. Before the K.-O. duel against the Squadra Azzurra, Nagelsmann also expressly praised his leading player.
“Above all, Josh is a good example of the question of what role emotionality plays in addition to the quality,” the national coach praised the attitude of the 30-year-old, who can play against Italy 98 and 99.
