Germany faced a challenging first half against Italy, possessing the ball but struggling to create opportunities, trailing 1-0. The second half proved transformative as Germany surged back to win 2-1, showcasing a strengthened team spirit. Manager Julian Nagelsmann highlighted the effective substitutions and the players' determination that led to the turnaround. He noted that while the first half posed difficulties, minimal changes in personnel during the second half greatly impacted the game's outcome. Looking forward, Nagelsmann emphasized the need for the team to maintain their drive in future matches to reach the finals.
I'm especially happy that we came back from 0-1 and won the game. We spoke before the game that we wanted to win both legs. The guys who came on did really well.
We could've scored more goals in the second half. We had a few problems in the first half - we didn't change much [in the second half] except the personnel.
