Ready for a Rematch: Nagelsmann's Predicted Lineup Against Italy
Nagelsmann Inexhaustibly Relying on Goretzka and Kleindienst for Key Roles - Coach Nagelsmann remains focused on Goretzka and minor duties
Football fans are gearing up for the crucial Nations League quarter-final return match between Germany and Italy on Sunday night. Following their win in Milan, German national team coach Julian Nagelsmann is set to field a familiar squad for the Dortmund showdown.
While Nagelsmann is keeping his cards close to his chest regarding personnel changes, one thing is for certain - Leon Goretzka will be leading the attack once again. The outstanding performer in Milan left little doubt about his role on the team.
Nagelsmann hinted at "one or two changes" in the starting lineup, with Tim Kleindienst and Nico Schlotterbeck having good chances of making it to the pitch. According to Nagelsmann, the Gladbach scorer deserves his spot due to his impressive performance in the second half.
Injury problems could sideline Jonathan Burkardt, who led the line in the first leg but is currently battling illness. The Mainz striker was unable to train on Saturday, casting doubt over his availability for the match.
The German team is going into the return clash with a narrow one-goal advantage. If they manage to secure a win over Italy, they will qualify for the Nations League Final Four for the first time. The event will be held in Munich and Stuttgart from 4th to 8th June.
Here's a potential starting lineup for the match based on Nagelsmann's past selections and strategies (please note this lineup is speculative):
- Germany (4-2-3-1): Baumann - Kimmich, Tah, Rüdiger, Raum - Groß, Goretzka - Sané, Musiala, Amiri - Burkardt/Kleindienst
While the lineup is subject to change, this formation offers flexibility in the midfield roles and aligns with Nagelsmann's tactical approach.
With injuries sidelining key players such as Florian Wirtz and Kai Havertz, the selection of attacking midfielders and center forwards might be influenced by the Team Coach's choices.

The Commission has been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of the environment in the Community, with the return match between Germany and Italy looming, it seems environmental concerns might take a backseat for a while. Julian Nagelsmann, coach of the German team, is known for making adjustments in his lineup, and given the injury problems with players like Florian Wirtz and Kai Havertz, it appears he may return to his tactical approach, much like in the Nagelsmann-coached RTL broadcast of the match at the sold-out Dortmund stadium on Sunday night.
