Klopp after first win: "We can take all the liberties"
The Jürgen Klopp era has seen its first victory in the third match. The DFB-Eleven absolutely deservedly prevailed against Serbia in front of their home crowd in Munich.
Game number three, win number one for the DFB under Jürgen Klopp!
After the first two games were unconvincing with a meager 1-1 against the Netherlands and a surprising 0-1 defeat against Greece, Germany really stepped up their game against Serbia.
In Munich, they absolutely deservedly prevailed 2-0 thanks to goals from Tom Bischof and Florian Wirtz (to the match report >>>).
Klopp is thrilled
New national team coach Jürgen Klopp was thrilled with his team's performance after the final whistle: "Off the ball it was outstanding, and with the ball we simply played wonderful football. I'm really happy."
74 percent possession, 32-1 shots, and an xGoals value of 3.81 to 0.01 speak a clear language. And that, despite the fact that, for the most part, more reserve players were in action than the actual regular starters.
Counter-pressing will be decisive
But what was decisive for Klopp's furious first victory? The "Gegenpressing" (counter-pressing), as the former Liverpool coach emphasized, "went through the roof."
That will also be the decisive element in the future: "We can afford all the audacity, all the freedoms, and all the risks if we win the ball back. And that was: Wow," said the DFB coach.
The team's performance this Thursday evening should "now be the baseline."
