Germany Watch: A Look at players that will fit really well under Jürgen Klopp

Germany manager Jürgen Klopp has unveiled his squad for the upcoming international break, fielding a total of 44 players. The squad is divided into two, with the first group comprising experienced players such as Joshua Kimmich, Marc-André ter Stegen, Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry, and Kai Havertz. The second group, however, is made up of less experienced players like Noah Atubolu, Mika Baur, Said El Mala, and Jonathan Burkardt.

As Klopp's reign as Germany manager begins, there is a sense of hope and expectation for certain players to thrive under his management. Goalkeeper Jonas Urbig, who has been serving as Manuel Neuer's backup at Bayern Munich, could potentially follow in Neuer's footsteps and become the number one keeper for the national team. Veteran Alexander Nübel, who has had to adjust his career due to setbacks, is also a promising prospect for Klopp's high-intensity style of play.

Defenders Josha Vagnoman and Maximilian Mittelstädt from VfB Stuttgart could be pivotal players under Klopp. Vagnoman's quick acceleration, hard challenges, and high work rate, coupled with his attacking prowess, make him a perfect fit for the German national team. Similarly, Mittelstädt, known for his impressive assist tally of 12 last season, is expected to contribute significantly to Germany's attacking play.

Lennart Karl, a young talent returning to full fitness at Bayern Munich, is another player Klopp is optimistic about. With Klopp's track record of nurturing young players, Karl could very well emerge as a world-class midfielder. Said El Mala, despite missing out on the World Cup, is another player who Klopp believes has the potential to excel under his management, thanks to his pace, high pressing ability, and high work rate.

Forwards like Younes Ebnoutalib from Eintracht Frankfurt also fit Klopp's profile of a young, pacey, and resilient player.
