Bratislava, Slovakia – E no dey easy for German national team coach, Julian Nagelsmann, as dem fall flat for match against Slovakia. Dis match on September 4, 2025, be one wey dem go wan forget quick quick. Why? Because dem lose 2-0, and e no sweet at all!
One of the major talking points na how Nagelsmann decide to move Joshua Kimmich from right-back go central mid. Dis one no be small drama o, because we all sabi say Kimmich na the only capable right-back wey Germany fit boast of right now. Wetin dem expect? For real, e no make sense!
Nnamdi Collins, wey be young boy wey never taste international football finish, now dey face huge pressure as he start against Slovakia, and no be lie, the guy deymatch no be dia level. He get smoked by Leo Sauer, and e see red from the start. Half-time, Nagelsmann don carry am comot like say him no get option again.
After the game, Nagelsmann admit say na im dey knock his own head because the whole plan no work. E talk say, “I no go blame Collins. Na my decision to start am, and I take responsibility. The whole structure of the team no stable at all.”
But make we sabi say e no be just Collins fault o. Even Kimmich am no fit carry that weight alone. The formation dey look like say nag from soup to nuts! Dem abandon defensive stability and try to experiment with something wey no dey work.
Some fans don dey vex say if dem don’t start making wise decisions now, the World Cup go be like a mirage for them. Na Wetin happen for EURO 2024 wey dem carry motivational juice from, but now, e be like say dem dey miss the mark.
As him dey prepare for the next game against Northern Ireland, many dey wonder if Nagelsmann go continue to tinker or he go stay put with Kimmich for the right-back position. No even talk say one loss fit change the whole momentum of a team wey don already carry high hopes for World Cup!
Di truth be say, if dem wan shine for the qualifiers, Nagelsmann need to sharpen him game plan and stop the experimental drama before e turn nightmare. The fans dey expect nothing short of action like the one wey dem carry from EURO! Make dem no let us hear word, abeg.
