7:0 gala against Bosnia
Savior Nagelsmann? He hits the brakes
After Germany's 7:0 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina in the Nations League, the neighbors can hardly stop raving. The DFB team was described as an "unleashed good mood combo" and a "merciless goal machine", and even critics such as Lothar Matthäus were full of superlatives. DFB team boss Julian Nagelsmann is stepping on the euphoria brakes.
A savior? "I'm not," said Nagelsmann succinctly. Parallels to the legendary 7:1 in the 2014 World Cup semi-final against Brazil were also drawn. "We were much more determined back then, but we also had the desire today." It was fitting that former coach Joachim Löw was in the stadium in Freiburg on Saturday. "He certainly felt quite entertained."
"Closer to it"
The buzzword doing the rounds after the record-breaking win was world class. Here too, Nagelsmann put things into perspective. "We are closer," said the 37-year-old. "There will be better opponents than today, but the development is good."
The 7:0 also meant the extension of a curious series. The DFB team's previous three international matches in Freiburg had ended with the same unusual result. Germany had also won 7:0 against Kuwait in 2002, Malta in 2004 and Luxembourg in 2006 in the Breisgau. All three games were test matches before major tournaments and took place in the old Dreisamstadion. The most recent victory was Germany's first competitive match in Freiburg and was a premiere at Europa-Park-Stadion.
