"In Sinsheim, Nagelsmann made history when he became the youngest ever Bundesliga coach aged 28 back in 2016. Nearly a decade later, after stops at RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich, Nagelsmann's Germany delivered the performance both expected of and required from them. Aided hugely by the fact Luxembourg played an hour with 10 men after an early red card, Germany dominated the 96th best team in the world."
""In terms of our hunger, it was a noticeable improvement," Nagelsmann said afterwards. "Serge was a great example of chasing back after losing the ball. To track back and make a slide tackle like that is exactly what you need against Luxembourg.""
""The red card was good for us, but when we lost possession we were up for it," David Raum said to ARD afterwards. "Oli [Baumann] was effectively unemployed in his home stadium tonight.""
Germany beat Luxembourg 4-0 in Sinsheim, a venue linked to Julian Nagelsmann's early coaching rise. Luxembourg played an hour with 10 men after an early red card, allowing Germany to dominate possession and chances. Joshua Kimmich was moved to right back and said he will play wherever the coach needs him. David Raum noted the red card helped and that Oli Baumann was effectively unemployed. Serge Gnabry showed renewed form and Florian Wirtz appeared unfazed by Premier League criticism. Nagelsmann praised the team's hunger and defensive tracking. The margin of victory improves Germany's prospects to reclaim top spot, aided by Slovakia's loss in Northern Ireland.
