DNA: 'Of course we're going to win today - we're Germany' - How Julian Nagelsmann wants to make the legacy of German football relevant again

This is Legacy, GOAL’s podcast following the countdown to the 2026 World Cup. Each week, we explore the stories and the spirit behind the nations that define the world’s game.  In this episode, inspired by a feature written by Jochen Tittmar, we trace the rise, the drift and the attempted rebirth of a footballing giant: from the mentality-driven teams of ’54, ’74 and ’90, to the possession-obsessed era after 2014, to the identity crisis that followed. And now, Nagelsmann’s mission to rebuild a team of fighters, workers and leaders — a modern Mannschaft grounded in old virtues but shaped for today’s game. Learn more about your ad choices.
