Julian Nagelsmann has led his Germany team to 2 wins out of 2 to kick start the 2024 European Championships, but what is more impressive is the level of Germany's tactical game model, something I will tackle in today's video, which has 4 parts:
1. Germany's fluid rotations in their 3-1-5-1 shape
2. Nagelsmann's profiling of individuals like Toni Kroos, Jamal Musiala, Ilkay Gundogan, Kai Havertz, Joshua Kimmich, and Florian Wirtz, and the role of the Raumdeuter.
3. His counter press out-of-possession
4. Germany's vulnerabilities and how to stop Nagelsmann's tactical blueprint.
After beating Hungary 2-0, and Scotland 5-1, many have the Germans as favourites, alongside the likes of Spain, Italy, France, England, Portugal, Belgium, and the Netherlands. But is this fair? Today, we find out.
Formerly the manager of Bayern Munchen, and winning the Bundesliga with the German giants, Nagelsmann has moved away to the German national team and has looked to have refined my tactical ideas, as well as finding and creating a better environment to work. Will Nageslmann rotate in Germany's final group stage game vs Switzerland? Giving that they have already qualified. Will he rotate players like Manuel Neuer, Robert Andrich, Jonathan Tah, Mittelstadt, for players like Nico Fullkrug, Emre Can, Leroy Sana, Pascal Grob, Nico Schlotterbech, Thomas Muller and more.
They are certainly the form side, with teams like England under performing in their opening games, drawing 1-1 against Denmark and narrowly beating Serbia 1-0. Gareth Southgate has had to face key questions about the roles of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Harry Kane, Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka, and Jude Bellingham.
For Germany, there are no such questions as of yet, with Nagelsmann using his players well. For example, deploying Joshua Kimmich in the same role Thomas Tuchel used him in as Bayern Munich knocked Mikel Arteta's Arsenal out of the Champions League earlier in the year.
This channel covers the entirety of Euro 2024, providing in-depth tactical analysis of the tactics of every nation, as well as covering the Premier League. This includes, Pep Guardiola and Manchester City, Manchester United and Eric ten Hag, Chelsea and Enzo Maresca, Spurs or Tottenham Hotspur and Ange Postecoglou, Mikel Arteta and Arsenal, Aston Villa and Unai Emery, and Liverpool and Arne Slot.
I will turn my attention back to Arsenal specifically in the coming days, as we look at how Arteta evolves the team to win the 2024/24 Premier League title, including the roles of Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, William Saliba, Gabriel Martinelli, Jurrien Timber, David Raya, and many more! Can the Gunners do it? |
