Criticizes Hoeneß: Hoeneß reproaches Nagelsmann over title claim assertion
In the aftermath of a 0:2 loss in Slovakia, national coach Julian Nagelsmann has reaffirmed his World Cup goal for the German national team, despite the setback. The coach's remarks were made in the context of the upcoming World Cup, which will take place in the USA, Canada, and Mexico next year.
During a discussion on Sport1's "Doppelpass", Uli Hoeneß, the honorary president of Bayern Munich, expressed his criticism towards the practice of coaches constantly changing their teams. Hoeneß specifically criticized Lukas Kwasniok from 1. FC Köln, emphasizing the importance of being well-rehearsed.
Despite the criticism, Hoeneß believes that Nagelsmann is the right national coach for the German team. He stated that you can't break the staff over Nagelsmann after one game.
Hoeneß also believes that the players are responsible for the emotionality that Nagelsmann missed in Slovakia. He demands a "clear performance improvement" for the second World Cup qualifier against Northern Ireland on Sunday at 8:45 PM/CET in Cologne.
Nagelsmann acknowledged that he is not standing outstandingly well after the loss in Slovakia. However, he reiterated that he does not want to say that Germany no longer aspires to be world champions. Despite the loss, changing the World Cup goal would be unimaginable, he emphasized.
The German national team will look to bounce back from their loss when they face Northern Ireland in the second World Cup qualifier. The match is scheduled for Sunday at 8:45 PM/CET. Let's hope for a fiery performance from the team as they strive to reignite their World Cup aspirations.
