Nagelsmann on Kleindienst’s selection: “Tim Kleindienst has delivered strong performances in the Bundesliga at Heidenheim for over a year, and he has also performed well at his new club, Borussia Mönchengladbach. Among other things, he is very reliable defensively. He deserves this call-up. Niclas Füllkrug’s injury provides a good opportunity to test Tim; now he can prove himself.”

Nagelsmann commented on the first opponent: “Bosnia and Herzegovina has yet to play a home game under their new coach, Sergej Barbarez. Therefore, I expect the atmosphere to be emotional, with the home fans passionately supporting their team – we will definitely encounter a heated environment.”
The national coach added: “If we perform as we did in the last two matches, I am confident that we can win this game as well. A victory away from home would be particularly important.”
After that, we will face Holland again. Almost a month ago, we played against our neighboring country in the Nations League, ending in a 2-2 draw after an early setback.
Nagelsmann stated: “We played well against the Netherlands in Amsterdam. We made a strong comeback after a very poor start. There are a few adjustments we want to implement in hopes of winning our home game against a very strong opponent.”
