DFB: Julian Nagelsmann sparks “fun for more” in team meeting

Even before the first DFB training in the USA

Even before the first training session in the USA, national coach Julian Nagelsmann told the German national players in a team meeting what his path to a successful home European Championship in 2024 should look like. “We had the first long meeting where we were explained what he was planning to do. “It was fun for more,” reported Robin Gosens afterwards on Tuesday in Foxborough.

A new coach always means a new beginning, said the 29-year-old left-wing player from 1. FC Union Berlin. “New coach means new ideas and new input for the players.” Gosens did not want to reveal any details, but activity, dynamism and energy should be seen on the pitch in international matches under Nagelsmann. “That’s what Julian Nagelsmann stands for. He showed in Leipzig and also at Bayern what kind of football he wants to play. And he conveyed that to us very clearly in the meeting,” said Gosens.

The DFB selection will train for the first time on Tuesday afternoon (local time) on the grounds of the New England Patriots football team. On Saturday (9 p.m./RTL) she will face the US selection in Hartford. Three days later, Mexico (October 18th at 2 a.m./ARD) is the opponent in Philadelphia. “We want to use these two games, even if they are a little further away from home, to get used to it, to create a good feeling for ourselves, with the hope that this will spread to everyone in Germany,” said Gosens . “We want to play two really great international matches here.”
