Maybe I’m a bit old-school, but if eleven players are underperforming, I’d start looking at the guy on the touchline. A team is often a reflection of its coach, and Nagelsmann spent an entire year sending the message: *“We’re going to win the World Cup”*—as if qualifying was just a formality. So it’s a bit rich for him to act surprised now that his team is approaching these games with exactly that attitude.
Ten years ago Nagelsmann had a real edge because of his innovative approach to analysis and training, but that advantage has disappeared now that everyone works like that. And when it comes to a coach’s core skills—personality, man-management, making the right calls about who plays where—I don’t think Nagelsmann has shown anything outstanding, at least not since his time at Bayern
IMO, the biggest problem is simply Germanys youth work. The way it’s set up, they promote pretty much zero creativity and “street type” ballers.
This leads to a generation of players who crumble as soon as they’re tactic or strategy doesn’t seem to work because they lack any creative solutions on the fly.
When you only have Wirtz and Musiala for these moments, it simply isn’t enough.
Nagelsmann’s ideas don’t help…putting Kimmich in midfield just for the sake of it while knowing that the quality drop at rb will be huge is simply bad coaching.
Seeing Goretzka being mediocre all year yet still putting him in a pivotal position is also bad coaching.
