Julian Nagelsmann (head coach): "I was absolutely delighted for the team. I’ve just congratulated them as well. Given what happened at the last two tournaments in particular, this win is especially important. Before that, we made a quick adjustment to how we wanted to attack their diamond formation. The drinks break came at a good time because it allowed us to show the players. There’s nothing serious with Jamal Musiala. After being out for such a long time, it’s normal for him to feel the odd muscular issue now and again. I didn’t take him off because of that."
Nathaniel Brown: "It's indescribable to score in your first World Cup match. My family is here. It's incredible. The other players congratulated me and told me to keep going."
Manuel Neuer: "I think everyone hopes for a good start. In a tournament like this, getting off to a good start is especially important. The substitutes came on and brought great energy to the team. You could see the sense of enjoyment in our play."
