I DON'T WANT MY LIFE TO BE UNUSUAL
It's simple, nothing profound or philosophical. It's about allowing players to bring their families and loved ones to the team – a kind of emotional freedom that even the youngest coach at EURO 2024 applies to himself. Joshua Kimmich's young son even travels on the team bus. German media reports that Coach Nagelsmann, only 36 years old, does this to relieve pressure on the players and allow them to have a nearly normal life during the EURO tournament. This philosophy is understandable, as the players no longer feel immense pressure because they are close to their families and surrounded by their loved ones. Before the tournament, Nagelsmann himself said: "The support of my family and the players' families is extremely important."
Coach Julian Nagelsmann has brought many differences to the German national team.
Coach Nagelsmann demonstrated this through action. On the opening day of the tournament, on the bus to the stadium for the opening match against Scotland, the players watched video messages from their families. Then, on the stadium, Nagelsmann greeted his mother, while a blown kiss to his girlfriend caused a stir on social media in Germany. Clearly, the coach has matured and is showing everyone that giving him the coaching position was absolutely the right decision. He has also slightly adjusted his philosophy to better suit the situation, as Germany lacks strong opponents for friendly matches.
Coach Nagelsmann adjusted his tactics to a simpler style of play, with Toni Kroos and Ilkay Gundogan acting as the "steers," controlling the German team from midfield and making passes to create space for their teammates. Germany's first goal against Scotland started with a pass from Kroos to Kimmich, while Kroos and Gundogan laid the foundation for the second goal. Kroos finished the game with 101 accurate passes out of a total of 102. They were the base of the delicious cake, topped with the rich icing of Florian Wirtz, Kai Havertz, and Jamal Musiala. Nagelsmann called them "the three wise men," because they knew how to attack, create breakthroughs, and finish the game.
ELIMINATING NEGATIVE REACTIONS USING SPECIAL METHODS
Coach Nagelsmann's influence at the Herzegonaurach training ground is evident. He set up a large screen on the training pitch and recorded live footage, then immediately showed it on the screen whenever a player made a mistake. He called this "Open Air analysis." Before announcing the final squad for the EURO, he explained that 13-14 players had already been selected, and the rest would be chosen later. In this way, he eliminated the possibility of negative reactions from players who are usually on the bench, and he also made it clear to players with few international appearances that they would have to accept a second, or even third, priority role. This method may have its pros and cons, but it is currently working well.
Toni Kroos (number 8) and Ilkay Gundogan (number 21) were perfectly utilized by coach Julian Nagelsmann in the opening match of EURO 2024.
Meanwhile, Germany's boss Rudi Voeller declared that this was only the first match, and that difficulties lay ahead, so fans shouldn't celebrate too soon. The opening match against Scotland was watched by 22 million Germans on television, accounting for 69% of the television market share that evening – more than the 2002 World Cup final where Germany reached the final but lost to Brazil (17 million viewers). Voeller slowed down, but the fans were pushing. And the German team became fresher and stronger thanks to the "Nagelsmann method".
