"Better today" - Leon Goretzka satisfied with Germany's performance in win over Luxembourg
""We can be satisfied with the performance and result. The circumstances were a bit special after their early red card. Many things that we didn't do well in recent games, we did them better today. We were active off the ball, the body language was positive. We also moved the ball quickly. As I said we did many things better than recently,""
""The long-tenured Bayern Munich star teamed up with teammate Aleksandar Pavlović in the pivot and produced a solid if unspectacular outing that did see him place four efforts on goal and make a few more darting runs into the box. For the 30-year-old, who has had to fight hard to earn his place back for club as well as country, it is another step in the right direction - one which he took alongside his teammates.""
""Germany was in need of a good performance and Luxembourg was the right squad for the moment. The team spirit appeared to be much higher than the last international where the German were flat and the renewed energy helped power the team to a 4-0 victory. An early red card played a massive role in the outcome, but Germany likely would have rolled easily even without being a man-up for three quarters of the match.""
Germany controlled the match against Luxembourg, securing a 4-0 victory by establishing dominance early and maintaining pressure. An early red card for Luxembourg influenced the contest, but Germany's quality suggested a comfortable win regardless. Off-the-ball activity intensified, body language improved, and ball movement quickened compared with recent performances. Leon Goretzka partnered Aleksandar Pavlović in midfield, registered four attempts on goal, and made several darting runs into the box. The 30-year-old demonstrated progress toward reclaiming a regular role for club and country. Starting XI choices and subsequent substitutions reflected a confident, managed win.
