Certain football games have the intoxicating effect of psilocybin-containing mushrooms on Julian Nagelsmann or, as they say in Austria: foolish mushrooms. At least it may seem that way to the listener. There was another opportunity like this on Tuesday at the stadium in Frankfurt’s Riederwald. Nagelsmann sat in the lecture hall after the national team’s 2-1 win against the Netherlands and spoke in rapid succession about the structural foundations of the game, about the “flat five”. opponents and the “deep defense with an incredible aggressiveness” of his own team as well as many other abstractions that he took from the game.
