"To Kimmich, it was exactly what he wanted to see. "It was important to win, but also the way we played. The principles and the attitude were there. We've seen from the first minute that we were determined to win. We had good energy, we defended the transitions well, the pressing was good, the set pieces were good. It was a step in the right direction," said Kimmich (as captured by @iMiaSanMia)."
"Kimmich played a big role for the squad at right-back with his leadership and production - scoring two goals is nothing to sneeze at. Yes, the red card neutered Luxembourg, but progress is progress. Germany was in need of a good performance and Luxembourg was the right squad for the moment."
"The team spirit appeared to be much higher than the last international where the German were flat and the renewed energy helped power the team to a 4-0 victory. An early red card played a massive role in the outcome, but Germany likely would have rolled easily even without being a man-up for three quarters of the match."
Germany produced a dominant 4-0 victory over Luxembourg, displaying much stronger energy, pressing, and defensive transitions than during the previous international break. An early red card for Luxembourg heavily influenced the scoreline, but Germany maintained control both before and after the dismissal. Joshua Kimmich stood out at right-back, scoring twice and providing leadership. The team executed set pieces effectively and showed improved attitude and intensity. Nagelsmann made notable starting XI decisions, with substitutions and scoring flow reinforcing the positive performance. The result represents a clear step forward for the German side and restored momentum.
