Germany 1-1 Hungary: Nagelsmann's First Game Ends in a Draw

Germany held to a disappointing draw in Nagelsmann's first game in charge

Germany were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by Hungary in their first game under new manager Julian Nagelsmann on Saturday.

The hosts took the lead through Zsolt Nagy in the 6th minute, but Germany equalised through Kai Havertz just before half-time.

Despite dominating possession and chances throughout the game, Germany were unable to find a winning goal, and Nagelsmann will be disappointed with the result in his first game in charge.

Nagelsmann's tactics under scrutiny after disappointing draw

Nagelsmann's tactics were under scrutiny after Germany's disappointing draw with Hungary.

The German coach opted to field a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Kai Havertz playing as a false nine and Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry operating as wide forwards.

However, Germany struggled to create clear-cut chances, and their attacking play was often disjointed.

Germany must improve attacking play

Germany must improve their attacking play if they are to challenge for major honours under Nagelsmann.

The Germans created very few clear-cut chances against Hungary, and they were often too slow and predictable in their attacking play.

Nagelsmann will need to find a way to get more out of his attacking players if Germany are to be successful in the future.
