Four months until the next international match, six until the European Championship. And then? An inventory of the possibilities, the mood and the unanswered questions after a miserable international year.
One step forward, two steps back: 3-1 against the USA. 2:2 against Mexico. 2:3 against Turkey. 0:2 against Austria. The high after taking over from national coach Julian Nagelsmann has disappeared.

Nagelsmann named “offensive football” as a great strength. Niclas Füllkrug scores: ten goals in 13 international matches. Leroy Sané constantly shows the class that made him great at Manchester City. The national coach lets the highly talented Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz play together. These are bright spots. Theoretically.
