Explained: Why Germany players are unhappy with Julian Nagelsmann as Die Mannschaft slip to back-to-back defeats

<a href="https://www.bild.de/bild-plus/sport/fussball/nationalmannschaft/nationalmannschaft-so-denken-die-stars-wirklich-ueber-nagelsmann-86200882.bild.html" target="_blank">Bild</a> reports that Germany's players have a series of concerns about the management of the 36-year-old, who is embarking on his first international coaching job. They have lost two on the bounce, 3-2 against Turkiye and 2-0 against Austria. Since his appointment, Nagelsmann has also overseen a 3-1 win over the United States men's national team, and a 2-2 draw with Mexico.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Per the report, several players believe that Nagelsmann is more suited to club management and is too demanding. There is not said to be a lack of faith in the manager, but they would like him to simplify his ideas, due to the condensed nature of training at international level.Nagelsmann has also played several players out of position - for example, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kai-havertz-left-back-mikel-arteta-follow-julian-nagelsmann-germany-star-defence-arsenal/blt131440665e8e8c28" target="_blank">Kai Havertz has been fielded as a left-back</a> - and is said to place great faith in video sessions, while he also stops training to point out mistakes. Overall, it is said to have overwhelmed the Germany squad.

WHY ARE GERMANY'S PLAYERS UNHAPPY?

Nagelsmann's desire to overhaul Germany's defence has not paid dividends yet, with his side failing to keep a clean sheet under his management and conceding eight goals in four games, and he has said: "We're not defensive monsters". That has not gone down particularly well in the Germany dressing room.

WHAT NAGELSMANN SAID

Nagelsmann will go back to the drawing board now that the international break is over. One has to expect that he will tinker with his tactics before the next break and Euro 2024, when the country will be hosts.
