Head coach Julian Nagelsmann remained cautious about the significance of the success. 'Three weeks ago everything was rubble and ash,' Nagelsmann said, dampening expectations of an immediate return to the top of the world.

The DFB team had recently gone through a difficult phase. Only in the weeks before the tournament did performances and results become more stable again. Nagelsmann’s statement underscores that, in his view, the path back to the top is not yet complete.
