"It's not a super easy group, but a manageable one. We want to win our group stage matches. The most important thing is to take it one step at a time, to get through the groups and advance to the knockout stage - not taking the second step before the first. Every opponent deserves respect. But I think it's also perfectly normal to consider whom you might face in the next rounds and whom you need to beat to go far,"
"For most fans of the German national team, the draw was extremely favorable as the Germans are grouped with Ecuador, Ivory Coast, and Curaçao. For head coach Julian Nagelsmann, a challenge awaits. Behind closed doors, Nagelsmann had to be thrilled with the result - no matter what he says publicly. On paper, the Germans look likely to advance pass the group stage of the World Cup for the first time since 2014."
Germany are grouped with Ecuador, Ivory Coast, and Curaçao. Coach Julian Nagelsmann described the group as manageable but not super easy and emphasized winning group-stage matches. He emphasized taking one step at a time to reach the knockout stage and urged respect for every opponent while acknowledging tactical planning for later rounds. Curaçao merits analysis but must not be underestimated. Ivory Coast can be beaten but requires caution. Ecuador possesses 3-4 top stars and finished second behind Argentina in qualifiers. On paper, Germany are favorites to advance past the group stage for the first time since 2014.
