Germany shines despite worries about injury: victory against Bosnia-Herz.

In the Bilino Polje stadium in Zenica, there was a lot going on on Friday evening when the German national soccer team was allowed to compete against Bosnia-Herzegovina. Despite the adverse conditions and the dilapidated ambience, Julian Nagelsmann could be satisfied with the result of 2-1. This was a trend -setting victory for the team, which already counts numerous injuries and still repeatedly reaches its performance limits. The team returned to Germany, now in the expectation of a further demanding game against the Netherlands in the Nations League, which will take place in Munich on Monday.

bad luck for the German eleven

Chris Leadership, the wing striker from VfB Stuttgart, has now now entered number eight in a longer list of injuries. After a late change, he had to leave the field at an early stage due to a muscle injury. In addition, there are concerns about Aleksandar Pavlovic from Bavaria, who could not play in Zenica because of a small knee bruise. Nagelsmann said: "We have to see that everyone is healthy by Monday."

The list of injured players is long. Among other things, the tram goalkeeper Marc-André Ter Stegen and top performers such as Jamal Musiala, Niclas Füllkrug and Kai Havertz are also missing. It was all the more gratifying that three young players in Zenica were allowed to celebrate their debut: goalkeeper Alexander Nübel and striker Tim Kleindienst were in the starting eleven while Jonathan Burkardt was substituted. Small service was proud to be part of the victory, even if his goal did not count due to an offside position.

strong services despite challenges

Deniz Undav stands out, scored his goals two and three in his fifth international match. Nagelsmann praised the strikers' skills: "He is extremely difficult to defend because he has such a low focus." Florian Wirtz, whose clever pass on Undav, made it clear that the German team has a lot of talent despite some failures. Such playful understanding could help compensate for the absence of key players.

However, the game was not without challenges. Nagelsmann gave the instruction in the second half, which ultimately led to a connection goal for Bosnia by Edin Dzeko. Here the trainer noted that the litter was no longer optimal and that a tightrope walk between offensive game and securing results.

By compensation in the parallel game, where the Netherlands only played a draw against Hungary, it is clear: A victory against Holland could secure the German team to enter the quarter -finals. The players are confident and small service said that he was convinced that he was defeated by the Dutch, especially since the next game takes place in front of a home backdrop.

After this important victory, the list on Monday will continue to be exciting, because the national team has to see how it deals with the existing injuries and the waxing form. However, Nagelsmann and his team are determined to make the best of their situation. The fans can look forward to an exciting duel that will not only illuminate the team strength, but also the individual class of the players.
