🎙️ I want to carry on: what Nagelsmann said after World Cup exit | OneFootball

Germany have already been knocked out of the World Cup in the round of 32. The DFB team lost to Paraguay on penalties. Julian Nagelsmann then faced questions about his future.

"I want to carry on," the national coach told 'Magenta TV'. However, he said the decision was not entirely in his hands. "If the DFB want me to, I’d be happy to prepare for the Euros and the Nations League. If they don’t, they should tell me."

The elimination came as a major shock: "The disappointment is enormous, we had a very cohesive team that always gave everything." Asked what had been going through his mind while sitting on the bench after the exit was confirmed, he replied: "Not much, really. When you go out of a tournament, it’s always a defining experience."

But why had Germany not managed to win the game in normal time or at least in extra time? "We controlled the game, but we were somehow lacking the killer punch." Germany had not found enough solutions against the "deep block". "We should also have moved the ball quicker at times."

But it was not down to attitude: "The lads really wanted to win."

On Jonathan Tah’s goal that was disallowed in stoppage time, he said: "For me as well, it was a perfectly good goal. It’s a joke that he blew for that. I don’t know what he saw there."
