BVB pressure on Julian Nagelsmann: Mats Hummels and Niclas Füllkrug in focus

After the 3:1 (1:1) against the USA, the DFB team will face Mexico on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday (2 a.m., CET), the opponent who won 1-0 at the 2018 World Cup -Victory in the preliminary round initiated the German debacle at the World Cup.

An exciting question about the Mexico game: Will Nagelsmann give the BVB stars a break or start them again? The focus is on veteran Mats Hummels, who could become the new, old defense boss, and on center forward Niclas Füllkrug.

Both were in the starting line-up against the North Americans. According to his own statements, the 36-year-old from Upper Bavaria would like to commit to one soon. The former FC Bayern coach explained that he wanted to play “not just a first eleven, but a first 15”, and said with a view to the approaching European Championship, “because we need more than a first eleven”.

If Marc-André ter Stegen (FC Barcelona) is in goal again, this should also be a clear signal to Munich keeper Manuel Neuer (retraining after a broken leg). Normally a substitute is allowed on a trip like this, but Nagelsmann just wants a well-rehearsed team – probably with Ter Stegen as the new number one.

Explosive: Borussia Dortmund has to play against Werder Bremen on Friday (8.30 p.m.) – with Hummels and Füllkrug. And with Niklas Süle and Julian Brandt, who are also in the squad for the international trip to the United States. “We can react and be a little more considerate as the game progresses,” said Nagelsmann. How does he set up the DFB team? How does he change?
