Germany defeats USA: Nagelsmann’s debut was a success
At the beginning of the match, not everything was going well. After the delay caused by former Dortmund player Christian Pulisic (27th minute), there was fear of another setback. But the German Football Association team fought back and equalized before the end of the first half when Ilkay Gundogan (39′) converted an individual effort from Leroy Sane.
After the first 45 minutes, Nagelsmann, who revealed his speech, intervened for the first time. “I had the feeling in the first half that we wanted to decide the game very early. We tried to play almost in every situation with a lot of risk and then we simply lost a lot of balls,” the 36-year-old explained to RTL after the match. We were still playing at a fast pace, but we were more patient. That was the difference.”

Then the guests turned the match upside down: Niklas Volkrug (58th) and Jamal Musiala (61st) scored two goals. The scoreline of 3-1 was never in danger and it could have been higher.
Thus the German national team was building on its last international match, when the international press celebrated the German Football Association’s victory over France: “Germany resurrected.” Even after the success against the Americans, there was a great celebration.
