Julian Nagelsmann is using innovation to find a way to beat Bayern
Media The young and innovative coach is looking for any edge he can find to get past Bayern Munich on Friday. Julian Nagelsmann is taking a next generation approach to preparing his team for its Bundesliga opener against Bayern Munich on Friday: By using a video wall on the team’s practice ground to go over the game film of Bayern’s 5-0 DFL-Supercup win over Eintracht Frankfurt. Nagelsmann, still just 31-years old believe it or not, will take every measure necessary to reach his ultimate goal; a Bundesliga title. As Nagelsmann told Bild, nothing else matters: I always strive for the maximum. And the maximum is the championship title.Grillitsch & Nordveit fit - Video-Training für Bayern https://t.co/fRyNpc4Bp9— BILD 1899 Hoffenheim (@BILD_Hoffenheim) August 21, 2018The video wall was certainly impressive to see, but perhaps even better was Hoffenheim’s social media personnel out-spying the Bild reporters with this tweet below: Erwischt: Die @BILD_Hoffenheim-Reporter in "geheimer" Mission beim nicht-öffentlichen Training…

Surely, the coaching phenom would like nothing better than to out-wit Niko Kovač, especially considering Bayern president Uli Hoeness did not think that Nagelsmann was quite ready to succeed Jupp Heynckes right now, but could be a viable option for Die Roten in the future:Julian Nagelsmann is a really great coach. For him, with his age and CV, it’s still three, four, five years too soon for Bayern. He will be able to coach Bayern someday — but not right now.In just two days, Nagelsmann get his chance to show Hoeness if he was wrong and we’ll all have the game film to prove it. Read more...
