Kimmich Highlights Importance of Nations League Victory for World Cup Success
March 16, 2025 - 12:47
Germany's captain Joshua Kimmich has emphasized the significance of clinching the Nations League title this June as a crucial stepping stone for the team's ambitions in the upcoming World Cup. In a recent interview with ZDF, Kimmich expressed his belief that success in the Nations League could serve as a vital confidence booster for the squad.
He pointed to Spain’s triumph in the Nations League, which preceded their victory at Euro 2024, as a compelling example of how winning can galvanize a team. Kimmich remarked, "Everyone says they don't care until they win it. I had the feeling with the Spaniards that they enjoyed winning the Nations League. That has to be our goal too."
As Germany prepares to face Italy in the Nations League quarter-finals, Kimmich's words resonate with the team’s aspirations. A solid performance in this tournament could lay the groundwork for a strong showing in next year’s World Cup, reinforcing the idea that every title counts in the journey toward international glory.
