Jamal Musiala – also present at the presser – noted that he was looking forward to playing opposite fellow German footballing phenom Florian Wirtz. The two teenage talents are expected to operate on the second axis of Nagelsmann’s 4-2-2-2.
“Results are important for self confidence,” Nagelsmann said at his final pre-match presser, “My style of playing football should lead to victories. If not, we’ll have to find another way.”
The German national are widely expected to line up in a 4-2-2-2 formation; the preferred tactical constellation of Ralf Rangnick disciples such as Nagelsmann who have worked at Rangnick stations such as Hoffenheim and Leipzig. Young German phenom Jamal Musiala was also present at the presser. The 20-year-old made no secret of the fact that – as projected – he’d be starting opposite fellow phenom Florian Wirtz on the second attacking axis.
“Me and Flo have quite a good relationship,” Musiala said, “We are good friends. On the pitch we always have fun together. We combine well and look for each other. We both just have fun playing football together.”
“I read a few months ago that the two of them can’t play together, but I think it’s a very good idea,” Nagelsmann added, “Both of them possess exceptional talent to drive the ball into the half-spaces, to dribble with pace towards the goal, and to utilize other players.”
