The German national team extended its promising form in the second match of their USA tour, but fell short of securing a second victory under Julian Nagelsmann, settling for a 2-2 (1-1) draw against Mexico. The new national coach expressed his satisfaction with the DFB squad's performance after the match and is optimistic about EURO 2024. He acknowledged the need for improvement, especially in the defensive aspect. Here are some key quotes from the game.

Julian Nagelsmann draws a thoroughly positive conclusion to the U.S. trip with the German national soccer team, which was so hotly debated in advance. "I've never coached a team that implements things so quickly," the new national coach said after Wednesday's 2-2 (1-1) draw with Mexico in Philadelphia: "I was absolutely thrilled, so I'm not worried."

Nagelsmann chose his reassuring words to the soccer nation carefully after eleven days of America adventure. "I saw total unity," he reported, "both in the hotel, although you can't let that blind you, and on the pitch."

Indeed, the 3-1 win over the U.S. and the draw against Mexico, despite some defensive wobbles, can serve as encouragement on the road to the 2024 home European Championship. The new beginning after the dismissal of Hansi Flick has been successful. "I know we will be successful," said Nagelsmann, who gave a team speech at Lincoln Financial Field immediately after the final whistle: "I also told the team that."

NATIONAL COACH JULIAN NAGELSMANN ABOUT

... the game: "We had a very aggressive opponent, the result is fine. It was a very hectic game overall from both sides. There was little calm. I just told the team that I am convinced we will be successful."

... the performance of the defense: "Jona played a very good game, was also very stable in the first half. We still have to work on making the long balls behind the chain not so dangerous. There were no extraordinary moves from Mexico, but straightforward passes. That was the case a few times against the USA. We'll work on that step by step. Offensively, it's all working pretty well already, defensively there are a few things we need to adjust. But it's also hard to implement everything in one week."

... Niklas Süle: "I take Niklas in defense. He has little rhythm. I've given him the rhythm now. He has only played a total of 70 minutes the past few games for Dortmund. On sight, we rate this player strongly. That's why we decided to bring him along anyway, so he knows that we are planning with him. He knows what things he needs to work on. He brings everything in general and hopefully he will play a leading role again both at the club and with us."

... the composition of the back four: "There is wishful thinking, but everyone has to stay healthy. In general, we need three or four IVs who are on the same level."
... Niclas Füllkrug in the forward line: "That's like Josh as well, I don't want to give anyone a regular place guarantee. If they perform better than other players, they're set."

... the USA trip in general: "I've never coached a team that implements things so quickly. I was absolutely thrilled, so I'm not worried. They have a very good togetherness. When you get offered a job like this, you always wonder how successful it can be. When I sum it up, I'm very sure we'll be successful."

... Nagelsmann: "Julian was happy with this week for the most part. Today it was a bit of a work in progress. He told us that he believes in this team. We want to repay that in the coming weeks."

... the performance against Mexico: "Defensively, we didn't stand that well, we didn't shift well. The intensity was lacking. When we concede the first goal, we have to be a bit more composed. But you also have to say that Mexico did well. They were always dangerous with crosses and balls into the back. But it was a good experience, we need games like that."

Reflecting on the initial two games under Nagelsmann, he commented, "Mexico proved to be a formidable opponent. Their compact style made it challenging for us. We had moments of excellence, alongside periods where we could have performed better. All in all, this training stint was beneficial for team morale. We'll progress further in November. We exhibited quality football and absorbed a lot in a short span. If we continue this gradual improvement, we'll reach a high level of play. We return home with a positive outlook."
