Believing in a positive playing style is the key to success for Germany, coach Julian Nagelsmann said on Monday with the three-time European champion struggling to find form ahead of next year\u2019s Euro 2024 on home soil.<\/p>\n

Germany suffered a 3-2 loss to Turkey on Saturday in Nagelsmann\u2019s first home game since taking over in September. It next faces Austria in Vienna on Tuesday in its last friendly international of the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is about being convinced of our path and then going out and playing positive games and then going out and playing a positive (Euro) tournament,\u201d Nagelsmann told a press conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is about us having a good feeling and winning. But it is also about playing well. To believe in the idea and continue that idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

The German side will need to put in an improved performance if its fans are not to be left with a bitter taste until friendly matches next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is always better to win and it gets a bit turbulent when you lose, that\u2019s clear,\u201d Nagelsmann said. \u201cBut it makes no sense painting everything black, seeing everything negatively.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nagelsmann was more concerned about going four months without a team training camp ahead of a major tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cFour months without (a Germany) training session is a bit much but we will have to manage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Germany has been struggling internationally in recent years with its leaking defence one cause of concern.<\/p>\n

Nagelsmann surprisingly shifted forward Kai Havertz into a left back position against Turkey and defended his decision amid some criticism in the German media.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn general, it wasn\u2019t a big experiment. We played the same formation as in the USA (in October). Kai didn\u2019t play as a classic left back,\u201d the coach said.<\/p>\n

Nagelsmann, who succeeded Hansi Flick, was confident his team would start clicking better and the results would follow.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will change. We have to earn this flow and not fall into the victim role and then things will turn,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
