Nagelsmann Continues to Trust Goretzka in the National Team

Germany national team head coach Julian Nagelsmann has stated that he will continue to trust Bayern midfielder Leon Goretzka. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This was reported by euro-football.ru. Goretzka may leave the Munich club at the end of the current season, but his role in the national team remains important.

According to Nagelsmann, although Goretzka does not get much playing time at Bayern, he can still be useful in his position during the qualifiers and at the 2026 World Cup. The coach specifically highlighted Goretzka's sharp runs into the penalty area, his aerial dominance, and physical strength.

Recalling the match against Northern Ireland, he said it was difficult to win without Goretzka, who saved the team in many situations by heading the ball away. Nagelsmann believes that at the 2026 World Cup, Germany will often apply high pressing while opponents will rely on long passes, and in such moments, Goretzka's qualities will be very valuable.

At the end of the month, the Germany national team will play friendly matches against Switzerland and Ghana.
