Klopp praises Kimmich, keeps starters for Serbia match under wraps
Jürgen Klopp, Germany's men's national football coach, already has his starting line-up in mind for the Nations League match against Serbia on Friday, but he's not talking. "If nothing happens overnight, I know how we will start," Klopp told reporters on Thursday ahead of the match, which starts at 8:45 pm (1945 GMT) at the Belgrade stadium.
Germany's national football coach, Jürgen Klopp, spoke at a press conference at Rajko Mitic Stadium ahead of Friday's UEFA Nations League match against Serbia. Despite having his starting lineup in mind, Klopp declined to reveal his plans. He praised captain Joshua Kimmich, calling him a "superplayer." Kimmich missed the first leg against Serbia, with Pavlović, Bischof, and Wirtz stepping up for Bayern.
Klopp had previously earmarked Marc-André ter Stegen as the number one goalkeeper and confirmed Jonathan Tah's defensive role. His primary objective is to secure another victory against Serbia, aiming for a quarter-final spot. Klopp expressed satisfaction with his team's preparation, calling the upcoming match a test of their progress. He lamented the limited access to Serbian spectators due to a ban.
