Germany's national football coach Julian Nagelsmann is turning heads with his bold squad strategy at Euro 2024, blending seasoned pros with rising stars. 🌟 After a dominant 5-1 opener against Scotland featuring young guns Florian Wirtz (21) and Jamal Musiala (21), Nagelsmann called his team's mix of youth and experience the 'perfect recipe' for tournament success.
🇩🇪 Ten players in Germany's 26-member squad are 30+, making them the oldest team in the competition. But Nagelsmann emphasizes this isn't just about today: 'We need more younger players in the future, but for now, this balance gives us the best chance to win.'
The coach praised younger players for being sponges: 'They listen to veterans, adapt quickly – that’s how we grow.' With Bayern Munich starlet Musiala already scoring and 25-year-old Kai Havertz leading the line, Germany's 'hybrid generation' could rewrite Europe's football playbook. ⚡
