German National Team Faces Pressure Ahead of World Cup Qualifier Against Northern Ireland
The German National Team is under pressure as they prepare for their second game in Group A of the World Cup qualifiers. After a disappointing start with a loss in their opening match, the team is looking to bounce back when they face Northern Ireland on Sunday in Cologne.
Coach Julian Nagelsmann, who took over the team after the Euro 2020 debacle, has been facing criticism following the loss. However, Nagelsmann remains confident and has not expressed any concerns about his future as the coach, even if the team fails to secure a win against Northern Ireland.
Nagelsmann has hinted at changes in the starting lineup for the match, suggesting potential shifts in the team formation. One of the key decisions he needs to make is whether to play Collins again after his poor debut at right-back. The coach has not yet made a decision on this matter.
Another important decision for Nagelsmann is the position of Kimmich. The captain will remain in the defensive midfield position, according to the coach's announcement. Kimmich is expected to return to central midfield, a position he has been playing for Bayern Munich.
Goalkeeper Oliver Baumann is the only player guaranteed a starting spot in the match against Northern Ireland. Baumann has been impressive in his performances for the national team so far.
Northern Ireland, on the other hand, began their campaign with a win in Luxembourg. They will be looking to cause an upset against the struggling German team.
The match is scheduled for Sunday in Cologne at 20:45 CET. The German National Team will be hoping to turn their fortunes around and secure a much-needed win to keep their World Cup dreams alive.
