Müller, the former Bayern Munich attacker, defended Nagelsmann's lineup choices on Magenta TV, stating: "If I were Julian Nagelsmann, I would stick with this approach and provide the team with stability. I would keep Manuel Neuer in goal. We're not here to hand out gifts."
The remarks came after Germany's final group-stage match against Ecuador in which Neuer failed to keep a clean sheet. Despite the defeat, Germany finished atop Group E with six points. Müller argued that late-stage group matches require squad consistency rather than tactical rotation, particularly when the team's qualification is already assured.
