Ahead of Germany's UEFA Nations League semifinal loss to Portugal, coach Julian Nagelsmann faced a striker dilemma between Nick Woltemade and Niclas Füllkrug. Opting for Woltemade, who brought recent scoring momentum from VfB Stuttgart, Nagelsmann acknowledged Füllkrug's suitability as a substitute due to his West Ham experience. Füllkrug's limited match time and injury struggles played a part in the decision, highlighting Nagelsmann's approach of making bold choices. With a similar dilemma for the third place match, the focus remains on strategic player utilization.
In speaking to ZDF, Nagelsmann explained that he rode the hot hand with Woltemade and recognized that Füllkrug could be an impact player as a sub.
Julian Nagelsmann told ZDF that Nick Woltemade currently has the 'momentum.' Winning the cup was the crowning achievement of an exceptional season for the breakout star.
