After the 5-0 win against Hungary, the national coach has no plans to make many changes in the Nations League’s top match against the Netherlands. However, he may be forced to do so in attack.
It is uncertain whether striker Niclas Füllkrug will play in the German national football team’s top match in the Nations League against the Netherlands. The 31-year-old attacker is injured after the 5-0 win against Hungary. Before the follow-up training session on Monday evening in the arena in Amsterdam, national coach Julian Nagelsmann reported problems with his Achilles tendon at the transition to the calf. “It is not yet clear whether he can play,” Nagelsmann said to Füllkrug.
Basically, he has no idea of making many tactical or personnel changes, said Nagelsmann, looking ahead to Tuesday’s match (8:45 p.m./RTL). “It worked well against Hungary,” said the 37-year-old. The Dutch also started Group 3 of the A League with a big win, 5:2 against Bosnia-Herzegovina.
“Holland is a different opponent,” said Nagelsmann. The Dutch are “good at playing” especially offensively. Leverkusen’s Robert Andrich therefore sees the key to the second victory being “that we do better defensively than the Bosnians.”
