Nagelsmann has always been smug and now his stock is at an all time low. We didn’t even bother to make a preview article about them after we saw him quoted saying:
“Of the players who thrive from counter-attacks, like Karim Adeyemi, Maximilian Beier and Kevin Schade, only one or two will go to the World Cup at most."
Basically going for the one that is the least in behind-off the ball focused when they have a plethora of to-the-feet players. Schade troubled the likes of Konate and Adeyemi has frightening speed.
In soaring conditions with up to 8 games in a little over a month, where fast twitch players are at higher risk of injuries due to their explosiveness, to only bring 1 and succumb him to less than half an hour in the competition is criminal. If you want to add Leweling into the mix then less than an hour combined game time.
Julian loves the smell of his own 💩, well now he can bathe in its musk on the plane back home.
