Is the great Germany back? The Mannschaft once again impressed during their victory against Bosnia (7-0). The German press waxes lyrical about the performances of its national team, and supporters follow in large numbers.
The Mannschaft is back, more dangerous than ever. For its penultimate group stage meeting, in the Nations League, the German national team truly crushed Bosnia, 7-0.
“It was one of the best matches in the history of the national team” raved the legend Lothar Matthäus, who became an analyst for the television channel RTL among our neighbors to the east. “The fun, the passion and the tactical mastery made a very strong impression.” THE BILD went even further. “The best game since the 7-1 against Brazil at the 2014 World Cup.”
And with no less than 23 shots on target, compared to 7 for Bosnia, the score could have been even heavier. “A party in Fribourg”, was the headline Sky Germany. The enthusiasm was palpable, inside and outside the stadium.
Julian Nagelsmann brought passion back to the German people
This victory marks a big turnaround for a Mannschaft which was still at its lowest, a year ago, after setbacks suffered against Turkey and Austria. Today, fans seem to be regaining confidence in the national team, which is showing new momentum under the leadership of Julian Nagelsmann.
“This team is once again making German fans dream,” notes the Kicker. The sentiment has clearly changed, and this is also reflected in the record audience figures. 6.83 million viewers followed this Nations League match.
Although expectations are high, Nagelsmann himself remains modest. “I am not the savior of German football,” he stressed after the match, according to the BILD. Yet under his leadership, Germany appears once again on the path to a prosperous future. The question now is whether the Mannschaft can continue on this path and finally shine again on the big stage.
