Germany team looking forward to next game after thrashing Hungary

Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann is already looking forward to their next Nations League game against the Netherlands after thrashing Hungary 5-0 on Saturday evening.

"I'm already looking forward to it. They also scored five goals. The Netherlands have a very, very good team and a lot of potential when it comes to substitute players. I'm excited," the coach said ahead of Tuesday's match.

While Germany started the Nations League with Jamal Musiala's gala evening - one goal and three assists -, the Dutch team defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 5-2.

Both nations recently clashed in March ahead of Euro 2024, but Nagelsmann recalled "it wasn't very easy, I have to say."

Life after the home tournament

The match against Hungary was the first one following the Euros on home soil and Nagelsmann wanted his players to bring in the same enthusiasm they brought for the home tournament.

At least against Hungary, his wish was granted. The coach repeated words such as "fun," "hard work" and "desire to win," during the interviews, and stressed that the "connection to the fans" was re-established right away.

"The atmosphere was amazing. I already have the feeling that the national anthem is being sung a bit louder again. I always sing loudly," forward Niclas Füllkrug said.
