"The subs changed the game. Nadiem did really well. Maxi [Beier] brought pace and runs in behind the centre-backs. Leon also did much better than Thursday. The body language was much better. Jona [Tah] also had a good 10-minute cameo, which is not easy for a defender against an opponent that plays a lot of long balls. We know there are still steps to be made but I'm happy with today,"
"When Bayern Munich's Serge Gnabry opened the scoring in the 7th minute, it looked like Germany was going to go on to maintain a level of dominance and control throughout proceedings, but Isaac Price's goal in the 34th minute for the visitors proved that not to be the case at all. Second half changes and tactical tweaks from Nagelsmann helped Germany provide a level of spark and control going forward that wasn't as evident in the first half"
Germany beat Northern Ireland 3-1 in Cologne, recovering from a 2-0 loss to Slovakia. Serge Gnabry opened the scoring in the 7th minute, while Isaac Price equalized for Northern Ireland in the 34th. Second-half tactical changes and substitutes—Nadiem Amiri, Maximilian Beier, Leon Goretzka, and Jonathan Tah—shifted momentum; Amiri scored Germany's second and Florian Wirtz converted a free kick in the 72nd minute to seal victory. Germany finished with roughly 80% possession. Nagelsmann praised the impact of the substitutes and Jamie Leweling's performance, noting improved body language and defensive challenges against long-ball opponents.
