After the 4-0 victory over Luxembourg, Germany coach Nagelsmann said in an interview that it is not always easy to create opportunities when all the opponent's players are in the penalty area.

About this game

- Not everything was perfect, but we did a lot of things right. We definitely had the desire to score goals and, of course, we could have scored more. The opponent's defense shrinks deeply, especially after the red card. When you're facing a team with a defense that's so deep, one extra man doesn't matter. In the end we got the win, which we desperately needed. We pressed well and won the ball back quickly. It's not always easy to create chances when all the opposing players are in the box.

About Gnabry's performance

- His performance was very good, his tracking and defense are also very important, even against Luxembourg, you need these, Gnabry did a very good job in this regard. Offensively, he's also very good.

About the 5 Bayern players in the starting lineup

- The strongest players in our team currently come from Bayern and Dortmund, and Bayern has performed well this season. Of course, players like Kane and Olise play a very important role, but the German players are just as important. Pavlovich has been playing more minutes recently. The tower took some time but is now more stable. Kimmich has maintained the same high level for many years.
