On July 6th, in the European Cup quarter-finals, Germany lost to Spain 1-2 after extra time, stopping them in the top eight. After the game, Germany’s head coach Nagelsmann couldn’t hide his disappointment, and he held back tears when he attended the press conference after the game.
Nagelsmann said in an interview: “In the second half and extra time, we were definitely the better side, we were closer to winning than Spain. In the last third of the game, we took the initiative, but we suffered a defeat, which also made me very painful.”
Nagelsmann hopes to regroup at the World Cup in two years: “The regret now can only be made up for at the World Cup in two years. In my coaching career for the German national team, I may not have another chance to compete as the host.”
Nagelsmann talked about the future of the German team: “I haven’t thought about what my plans are next, because I didn’t expect the team to be eliminated so early. I will consider rebuilding the team and having a good performance in the Nations League.”
