Nagelsmann’s promise for the future: We’re not done yet!”

After the German national soccer team's disappointing exit from the European Championships in a nerve-wracking quarter-final against Spain, national coach Julian Nagelsmann analyzes the situation and swears that this is not the end yet. In the RTL program "2024! People, Images, Emotions" Nagelsmann explained that despite the bitter defeat he remained calm and an inner voice told him that he was not finished with the team yet. “We still need a little time for the really big things,” said the coach. Marc Cucurella's controversial handball moment, which could have tipped the game, is also remembered. Despite these controversies, Nagelsmann successfully led the DFB team to the quarter-finals of the Nations League, and he plans to appear strongly for the upcoming 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico voice.de reported.

However, the analysis of Nagelsmann's decisions is not benevolent. After the 2-1 defeat against Spain, he was accused of four crucial mistakes that cost the team dearly. A central problem was the lineup of Kai Havertz instead of Niclas Füllkrug, who seemed to be in better shape, which turned out to be too defensive. There was also a lack of targeted rotation because players like Toni Kroos and İlkay Gündoğan were overtired after intense games and could no longer muster the necessary freshness. The decision to force Emre Can into the starting line-up while other parts of the team were weakened hardly brought the desired result fnp.de stated.

This error analysis now becomes the basis for Nagelsmann's planned changes on the way to the World Cup. The team has shown a lot of potential despite the disappointment and the coach is determined to learn and grow from these experiences. “If we become world champions, then I’ll definitely be there again,” promised Nagelsmann optimistically. The bar is set high, expectations are high and preparations for the World Cup have already begun.
