Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>It might be hard to identify Julian Nagelsmann right away as the coach of the German national team on the Foxborough compound near Boston.<\/p>\n

Other than his predecessor Hansi Flick, the 36-year-old always plunges into the middle of his squad\u2019s training group delivering perfect passing, appearing like an ordinary member of the side vividly chatting to his players.<\/p>\n

Only two years older than Dortmund defender Mats Hummels, the former Bayern coach makes no secret of him having landed amidst a delicate mission such as taking care of the struggling 2014 world champion on its way to the 2024 UEFA Euro.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the friendlies against the United States on Saturday and Mexico next Wednesday, pragmatism is dominating the approach of the rescue worker having signed a contract for only eight months.<\/p>\n

Instead of considering future team developments, the new arrival only cares for the here and now. Twelve of the 26 players selected are over 30 but at present simply the best the country has to offer. Only four performers are under 25 including the emerging stars such as Malick Thiaw, Jamal Musiala, and Florian Wirtz.<\/p>\n

The German squad is the oldest in over two decades. Experience seems inevitable when time is short.<\/p>\n

This might apply to the silverbacks such as Hummels and Thomas Muller (34) as well as to 32-year-old Union striker Kevin Behrens and his fellow debutant in the person of Stuttgart midfielder Chris Fuhrich.<\/p>\n

Players\u2019 sprints seem to bloom with the coach counting on what he calls a simple tactical approach in a 4-2-2-2 system aside from \u201cthe infectious passion and overwhelming motivation\u201d as team captain Ilkay Gundogan is putting it.<\/p>\n

The Barcelona midfielder is reporting about a coach delivering simple advice while Nagelsmann claims to rely on \u201c14 different tactics as simplicity is a matching keyword.\u201d<\/p>\n

Providing a frame, and triggering self-assurance is the German coach\u2019s perspective as a suitable way to achieve success and a good mood.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll he does is bound to a purposeful direct manner,\u201d Muller is reporting.<\/p>\n

The so-called prevailing mood only comes with positive results, the Bayern striker added. \u201cWe can talk about the good mood in training and off the pitch, but all comes down to victories.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rejecting all interview requests, Nagelsmann\u2019s message seems clear: Hard work comes first, and talking to the public has been shifted to the background and is only carried out at official press conferences.<\/p>\n

Nagelsmann wants to deliver the message, that the coach is far from the most important person; an important fact as the former Leipzig coach has always been at the center of attention and seen as a wonderboy of coaching due to his age.<\/p>\n

Pragmatism now has become the new line. Muller called the 2-1 victory over France \u201ca starting point\u201d coming along with the need to add further success \u201cbut the game gave us confidence we can win games.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team feels comfortable with the coach\u2019s approach to entirely concentrate on his short-term mission.<\/p>\n
