Matthäus: Klopp's debut – everything improves after the first match

On Thursday at 20:45, Jürgen Klopp will appear for the first time as head coach of the German national team in the Netherlands, where he celebrates his debut. Record international Lothar Matthäus expresses optimism and promises that under the new boss everything will get better.

Trust climate in the DFB team

Before the premiere of the new head coach, Matthäus emphasizes that the atmosphere in the DFB team is characterized by trust. He wrote in his Sky column that the players need to know where they stand, and the clubs want to know what happens to their players.

Matthäus also commented on the XXL squad nominated by Klopp for the matches in Amsterdam, against Serbia and twice Greece. He reminded that the new head coach replaces Julian Nagelsmann, and that the debutants will have no problem finding their way.

Matthäus demands clear support from Klopp for Kimmich

He expects that Klopp will initially field players in most positions who already have experience in such matches and in the “cauldron” of Amsterdam.

"That hasn't always been the case in recent years, but trust is important. The players must know where they stand, the clubs want to know what happens to their players," emphasizes Matthäus.

With this, the record international signals a new chapter for the German team, which under Klopp wants to build on stability and clarity.
