Back To Midfield, Bayern's Kimmich Turns Into Nagelsmann's Flagman
The UEFA Nations League: German national team coach Julian Nagelsmann has set sail for a fundamental restructuring of his team's tactics. Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying opener against Slovakia on Thursday, the 38-year-old turned his team's focus to a solid defense and a powerful game through the midfield.
Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich is set to become Nagelsmann's flagman, as the 30-year-old returns to his preferred midfield position after playing mainly as a fullback covering the right wing for a long time.
Along with the change, there is a more defensive back row, with Frankfurt's Nnamdi Collins, the national team's debutant, presumably taking over the right side, approaching the role with a less forward-bound style, reports Xinhua.
