German coach Julian Nagelsmann backs goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen for the Nations League semifinals. The Barcelona player will start against Portugal next Wednesday. Ter Stegen works hard during practice sessions despite playing few recent games. Nagelsmann trusts the keeper after his knee injury recovery. The coach talked with Hansi Flick about ter Stegen's health but ignored transfer rumors.

Nagelsmann refuses to tell players which teams to join. He wants Florian Wirtz to play regularly like he did at Leverkusen. The coach calls Wirtz one of the world's best players. Nagelsmann believes consistent playing time matters more than specific clubs. He avoids giving career advice to his squad members.

Germany wants to win the Nations League tournament. Nagelsmann sees the competition as important for team building. Spain showed how this title helped before Euro 2020. The coach notices excitement among his players before the big game. Germany faces Portugal at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday evening.
