Urgent Concern: Nagelsmann Needs Prompt Solutions, After Expressing Concern and Agitation

The German football national team is set to take on Northern Ireland on Sunday, following a disappointing 0:2 defeat against Slovakia in a World Cup qualifier. The team's coach, Julian Nagelsmann, has promised a reaction in the upcoming game.

Nagelsmann has expressed concerns about the team's lack of emotionality during the Slovakia match, stating that they played without passion compared to the underdog Slovakian team. He believes that the team needs to become more emotional and give everything in every game to improve their performance.

In an effort to shake things up, Nagelsmann is considering position changes for key players Joshua Kimmich and Jamal Musiala (referred to as Andrich in the bullet points) in the upcoming game against Northern Ireland. Kimmich, a key player for the team, has also expressed concerns about the team's performance and its impact on qualifying for the World Cup.

Qualification for the playoffs, where four more tickets will be awarded in March 2026, is already secured. However, finishing first in Group A is no longer achievable. Even if they don't win the group, qualification for the World Cup is still secured due to their position in League A of the Nations League.

Rudi Völler, former national team coach, has warned that the German team's participation in the 2026 World Cup in America is at risk if they continue to perform at their current level. Nagelsmann, on the other hand, is holding onto his big goal of winning the World Cup, stating that anything else would send a "fatal signal" internally and externally.

Nagelsmann has asked for "a few hours" to think and consult with Völler about the next steps. He emphasizes the need to change the team's mindset and increase emotionality to improve performance.

Meanwhile, in Hamm, summer has been one of the driest since 1930. Millions have been allocated for the Easter expansion of the Maxipark in Hamm. All news from Hamm can be found at a specific location.

A remembrance of NS victims took place at the former OLG Hamm.

The decision to win the group could be made in the last game against Slovakia on November 17. Nagelsmann believes that the team needs to rely less on quality and more on players who give everything to achieve better results.
