"We need to play good football and have fun," declared Yuzua Kimish, who wore in Manuel Neuer's absence the captain's armband in Hansy Flick's debut as Germany coach.
And this, at the tip of the fork, is the most significant change the team has undergone since its appointment at the end of the failed Euro 2020.
Flick was supposed to bring tactical innovation and shed new blood, but his main and biggest task was to immediately improve the atmosphere in the staff.
Right now, he seems to be definitely doing it.

In terms of results, it is still very early to judge the work of the new boss, of course. The game board has given him a very comfortable entry into the role, with encounters against Liechtenstein and Armenia in his first two encounters in the World Cup qualifiers. The first made a bunker and absorbed only twice, but the Germans left a relatively good impression offensively. The second dared to go for open football in Stuttgart, and Flick's gang celebrated with an unanswered six. It was already a real show, and even if the rivals were significantly inferior, there was still a taste of more - even ahead of a slightly more challenging test in Iceland on Wednesday, and especially for the continuation of the popular and charismatic professional's term.
Today, in retrospect, it is even clearer that Flick's enormous contribution to Germany's great achievements in the Joachim Lev era.
When Yogi first became head coach in place of Jürgen Klinsmann at the end of the 2006 World Cup, he appointed Enzi - a very anonymous coach - as his assistant.
Flick was fired shortly before from Hoffenheim, then a country club under construction, which he failed to promote to the Second Division, and his arrival passed in exemplary industrial silence.
Even in his role on the team, he maintained a low media profile, was not interviewed much, and left the whole stage to the heart.
However, within the squad he was the living spirit behind the spectacular journey that ended at the end of eight fruitful years with the lifting of the World Cup in Brazil.
Everyone was waiting for Flick to come.

To a very large extent, Flick was the glue that held the players together. Lev was mostly busy with the tactical and strategic aspects, but Flick delivered most of the training, devised game plans, and his relaxed nature made the players get on the team in a positive mood. This atmosphere gradually changed after his departure at the end of the celebration in Brazil. Lev is a coach by grace, but his interpersonal skills are imperfect, to say the least, and as time went on he grew in the camping staff. The snowball began to roll, and he did not stop until Yogi vacated his chair. It was hoped that the early announcement of his resignation at the end of the European Championships would improve the situation and cause everyone to push the cart in the same direction - not to mention that Thomas Müller and Mats Hummels who had been taken in the wrong and unusual move were returned. In the end, that didn't really help either, although the game against England in the quarter-finals could have developed in a completely different direction. We will never know what would have happened if Muller had scored the equalizer.
Either way, everyone was already looking forward to Flick's arrival.
He was perceived as a real magician and savior, after the brilliant term on the Bayern Munich bench.
Flick got the job in Bavaria almost by accident, when he was appointed assistant to Nico Kovac, first temporarily after his dismissal - and remained on the standard of a permanent coach to march the team to Treble already in its first season.
He was primarily responsible for Mueller's return to excellent fitness, and in general demonstrated not only tactical flexibility, but above all psychologically and mentally correct staff management.
The team will be based on it.

Bayern is known as a problematic club due to the ego overload in the management and locker room, but Flick produced his players to the best of his ability, and did not let the background noise interfere with his mission. Then, when it appeared that he would be able to return to the team, he did not think twice. He has already fulfilled his dream at Bayern, and the conflicts with sporting director Hassan Slihmidic were convenient to leave behind. Instead of being a hero in one group, Flick can become the hero of an entire nation, and he knows the system from the inside. His return has sparked unbridled optimism, and is well up to high expectations.
"Flick has a chance to set a new era," wrote Bastian Schweinsteiger, who really enjoyed working with Flick as the club's assistant coach. Right for the job. "
Flick's squad will be based on Kimish and Leon Gorczka, who under his leadership have become a phenomenal key pair at Bayern, and at the same time will include many youngsters, led by Jamal Musiala - the golden boy who chose to represent Germany over Flick's advice.
His first squad also included rising stars such as right-back Ridla Baku from Wolfsburg, dynamic midfielder Florian Wurz from Leverkusen and the big surprise - striker Karim Adami from Salzburg.
Everyone left a positive impression, and Edamey even scored in the debut against Armenia.
"Sets one threshold after the black years."

The right approach is the key. "The first training sessions worked before the programs. We saw a certain mentality, which is the basis for everything for me," Flick said at the beginning of the training camp. The percentage of opportunities used against Liechtenstein was poor, but the dynamics are positive - and the Armenians came to Stuttgart on perfect timing to open the new era on the right foot. "I loved our performance today. It was one more step we took together, and we can be happy, but now we have to concentrate on the next game," the coach stated.
The leading newspaper, the Zodiache Zeitung, presented a gender after the six, with the headline: "Flick sets one threshold after the black years," noting a fast and attractive football that yields goals.
The coach applies a style of high pressure, with rhythmic attack management, which was very characteristic of Germany especially in his years as Lev's assistant.
Thanks to the advantageous draw, Flick became the German coach who opened the term in the best way ever, with a pair of wins and a goal difference of 0: 8.
It does not predict success in the future, but improves even more.
"I have not felt this way in the team for a long time," Gorzka said.
Against Iceland (21:45, Sport 2), which has weakened very recently, they have a chance to leverage the momentum even more.
