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.
