I DON'T WANT LIFE TO BE UNUSUAL
It's simple, nothing lofty or philosophical. That is, the players are allowed to bring their families and lovers to the team, a kind of emotional freedom that the youngest coach of EURO 2024 also applies to himself. Joshua Kimmich's young son even gets to ride in the car with the whole team. The German press wrote that coach Nagelsmann, only 36 years old, did this to relieve all the pressure on the players and help them have an almost normal life during the EURO. This philosophy is understandable, when the players no longer feel too much pressure because they are close to their families, in the arms of their loved ones. Before the tournament, Mr. Nagelsmann himself said: "The support of my family and the players' families is extremely important."
Coach Julian Nagelsmann brings many differences to the German team
Coach Nagelsmann put this into action. On the opening day of the tournament, on the way to the stadium for the opening match against Scotland, the players were shown a video message sent to each of their family members on the bus. Then, on the stadium, Mr. Nagelsmann greeted his mother, while a kiss to his girlfriend made waves on social media in Germany. Clearly, the coach has matured and is showing everyone that giving him the position of coach of the national team was absolutely the right thing to do. He also changed his philosophy a bit to better suit the situation when Germany lacked big opponents worthy of playing friendly matches.
Coach Nagelsmann adjusted his players to play more simply, with Toni Kroos and Ilkay Gundogan as the "train drivers", steering the German train from midfield, making passes to open up playing space for teammates in the simplest way. Germany's first goal in the win over Scotland started with a Kroos pass to Kimmich, while Kroos and Gundogan were the ones who laid the foundation for the goal that made the score 2-0. Kroos closed the match with 101 accurate passes out of the 102 passes he made. They were the base of the delicious cake with the fatty decoration of Florian Wirtz, Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala. Mr. Nagelsmann called them "the 3 wise men", because they knew how to attack, create breakthroughs and finish the match.
ELIMINATING NEGATIVE REACTIONS WITH SPECIAL METHODS
Nagelsmann's mark on the training ground in Herzegonaurach is clear. He sets up a big screen at the training ground and records it live, so that when a player does something wrong, he shows it on the screen. He calls it Open Air analysis. Before naming the final squad for the EUROs, he explains that 13-14 players have been selected and the rest will be picked later. That way, he eliminates any negative reactions from players who are often benched, and he also lets players who have had too few caps realize that they will have to accept the role of second, or even third, priority. This method can be argued to have its pros and cons, but for now it is working well.
Toni Kroos (No. 8) and Ilkay Gundogan (No. 21) were used perfectly by coach Julian Nagelsmann in the opening match of EURO 2024.
Meanwhile, German team boss Rudi Voeller declared that this was only the first match, difficulties still lie ahead, so fans should not rejoice too soon. The opening match against Scotland was watched by 22 million Germans on TV, accounting for 69% of the TV market share that night, more than the 2002 World Cup final in which Germany reached the final and lost to Brazil (17 million viewers). Mr. Voeller put the brakes on, but the fans are pushing. And the German team is fresher, stronger thanks to the "Nagelsmann method".
