In the heat of preparation for the Nations League semi-final match between Germany and Portugal, the team isn't all business. Bundestrainer Julian Nagelsmann shared a humorous anecdote with Jochen Breyer, ZDF's moderator, that's sure to put a smile on your face.
A Sneak Peek at Nagelsmann's School Days
Breyer inquired about Nagelsmann's "most beautiful title" he's ever won, to which he responded with a delightful, almost mischievous story: "I won a German essay competition once. We had to pen down our take on a body part and how it feels post-sports. I wrote about my posterior, which isn't exactly a joy ride afterwards." Nagelsmann, to this day, still puzzles over the prize he received.
Breyer, caught off guard, confirmed if he understood correctly, and Nagelsmann confirmed the tale. "We were to essentially describe some body part and its everyday life in school," he clarified. He chose his posterior for the exercise, but soon returned to the topic at hand – the Nations League. "We're all raring to go for the title. Even if it's just a step, it should still be a step," Nagelsmann emphasized, giving the World Cup title a run for its money.

Despite the humorous digression, the team's focus remains firmly on the upcoming Nations League semi-final, with Nagelsmann expressing his determination to clinch the title, even if it's just a stepping stone towards the World Cup.
