The players of the German national team believe that Julian Nagelsmann is better suited for working
According to Bild, the German national team players believe that Julian Nagelsmann is better suited to work at the club than for the national team.
Players feel that Nagelsmann is trying too hard to implement his tactical ideas and demands that they play in unfamiliar positions, which has caused some dissatisfaction among them. For instance, Kai Havertz playing as a left-back in the match against Turkey was a prime example. These changes are being introduced with a limited number of training sessions, and some players are unhappy with this approach. However, Nagelsmann's decision to use Havertz as a left-back against Austria received positive feedback from the team. This approach is reminiscent of the methods of Nagelsmann's predecessor, Hansi Flick, who was dismissed in September.
Overall, while the relationship between Nagelsmann and the players remains strong, there are concerns about his demands within a limited timeframe before Euro 2024.
