Debating Occupational Dilemma

Germany Prepares for World Cup Qualifier Against Northern Ireland

Germany's national team is gearing up for a crucial World Cup qualifier against Northern Ireland on Sunday. Julian Nagelsmann, the coach for Germany's national team, has announced that there will be personnel changes in the upcoming game, but not all ten field players will be rotated.

Nagelsmann, who has been under some pressure following a downward trend and a recent loss in Bratislava, has expressed his desire for his team to play emotionally and have energetic togetherness in the match. He has praised Mats Hummels, a key figure in Germany's 2014 World Cup-winning team, as a "leader" and "figurehead". Hummels, who is set to return to form, could strengthen Germany's defense.

Hummels will be honoured before the game, and Rudi Völler, the sporting director, showed solidarity with Nagelsmann at the start of the final training session. Völler has also praised Hummels, calling him a "leader".

In terms of the team's attack, changes are needed despite limited options due to the absence of players like Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz, and Tim Kleindienst. Pascal Groß is likely to start on the right side, with Joshua Kimmich expected to stay in midfield. An emotional player like Robert Andrich could be called upon to play alongside Kimmich.

Florian Wirtz, despite form struggles since his move to FC Liverpool, remains an essential and untouchable difference-maker for Nagelsmann. Wirtz, who was trained as a youth player at FC but then surprisingly switched to Bayer Leverkusen, has been praised by Nagelsmann for his ability to make a difference in games.

Oliver Baumann, the goalkeeper, spoke about the importance of energy, tackling, and winning second balls in the upcoming game. Joshua Kimmich has also expressed concern about a lack of aggression in possession in the previous game, and the team will be looking to address this issue in the match against Northern Ireland.

The German team will be led by captain Joshua Kimmich in the match against Northern Ireland on Sunday. Kimmich, who is also expected to feature in midfield, will be crucial to the team's success. Nick Woltemade, who is still searching for his first international goal after three matches, will also be looking to make his mark in the game.

Despite the focus on the upcoming game, Nagelsmann has made it clear that he is not thinking about becoming world champions at this moment. Instead, he is focused on improving the team's performance and securing a place in the World Cup. With Hummels' return to form and the potential addition of players like Andrich and Wirtz, Germany will be looking to turn their fortunes around and secure a win against Northern Ireland.
