Klopp praises Germany’s passion after debut Nations League match

Germany’s new‑era side under Jürgen Klopp played out a 1‑1 draw against the Netherlands in the opening match of UEFA Nations League Group A2 on 24 June. Felix Nmecha netted the opener after a floating pass from Joshua Kimmich, while Cody Gakpo equalised with a volley in the second‑minute of added time.

Klopp reflected that the start was “fantastic” but admitted a ten‑minute spell proved “very difficult”, adding he was satisfied with the passion shown by the players and the team as a whole. He noted that Germany can produce better football and increase such periods, and that the side will face Greece on 27 June in the next group fixture. Dutch striker Brian Brobbey suffered a hamstring injury during the first half, but play continued.
