Germany has caught a dream start in the post-Euro 2024 era. Julian Nagelsmann’s side beat Hungary on Saturday 5-0 thanks to goals by Niclas Füllkrug (27’), Jamal Musiala (58’), Florian Wirtz (66’), Aleksandar Pavlovic (77’) and Kai Havertz (81’ penalty).

It was a dream to start in a new era. Just after the euros, Toni Kroos, Ilkay Gündogan, Thomas Müller and Manuel Neuer announced their retirement from the national team. The great consultation before adjustment was how the team would compensate for the game of Kroos and Gündogan, who went to Germany in the European championship last summer.

“I imagine the start of the game, the first 5-10 minutes, we were a little sloppy and had some offside passes,” Nagelsmann said after the game. “After that we were very dominant and created smart and created a lot of chances.

Indeed, the national team coach’s only major concern was the lack of scoring in the first half. “We should develop a killer instinct to decide games earlier,” Nagelsmann said. The chemistry in the team is there, and as long as that’s the case, we can always improve.”

The lack of power has been a challenge since before the euros. Although Germany scored many scores at the Chamber tournament last summer, the meaning still there was that the Nationalmannschaft needed too much chance to finish off an opponent.

In the end, the final score, however, reflected Germany’s domination over Hungary. The Germans led the game with an XG of 3. 5nine opposite to 0. nine3, had a 56% possession, 23 opposite to 6 shots in general and nine vs 1 strokes in the target.

Most importantly, the two players who were supposed to take over the mantle from the retired stars stood out the most: Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala. Musiala, in fact, not only scored the game’s all-important second goal but also had three assists and was voted the man of the match.

“It is vital that we maintained the joy we had in euros,” said Musiala. “We have 20 games for the World Cup. We have to use the game. We have lost 4 players who play an important role, so we have to build chemistry. “

Although Joshua Kimmich is the new captain, this team is now owned by Musiala and Wirtz. And it can be said that any of them like to play with each other. “It was a great laugh,” Musiala said after the game. “It’s a laugh to play with Flo. We discovered our rhythm after 1-2 goals, and with that confidence, we can continue playing all night. “

German striker Niclas Füllkrug agrees. “It’s a joy to see what Flo and Jamal do,” Füllkrug said. “We are fortunate to have them on our team. It’s a gift. “

The night not only about Musiala and Wirtz. .

It now only feels like a question of time for Pavlovic and Stiller to join Musiala and Wirtz in the realm of Germany’s most important players. Indeed, the two Munich-born midfielders have the potential to fill the gap left behind by Kroos and Gündogan and give structure to Wirtz’s and Musiala’s unbound creativity.

Anyway, the night opposite to Hungary is an excellent starting a new era: a new era with new faces. However, to grow completely together, this team will still have to face serious challenges. In fact, the next challenge is just around the corner. On Tuesday, Germany will face the ancient rivals of the Netherlands, which will be a much more difficult control than this Hungary component.
