The German national team may have advanced undefeated into the European Championship round of 16 – but their tactics were decoded in the draw against Switzerland.
It was shortly before midnight when Julian Nagelsmann gave birth to a monstrosity of words. The 92nd minute when Niclas Füllkrug headed the equalizer against Switzerland was an “emotional explosion moment,” said Nagelsmann, and he spoke very slowly so as not to jumble the nine syllables of the word.
“Emotional explosion moment”, born in the neon light of a basement room in the Frankfurt stadium, has the best chance of surviving the coming days and even making it into the vocabulary of the European Championship. Because in this chunk, 23 letters of live weight, the entire preliminary round of the German national team is concentrated.
