  "account": "Germany's goalkeeper of the future? Urbig even surpasses Neuer\n\nJonas Urbig has been in goal for the German national team during matches against Serbia and Greece. Bayern Munich's goalkeeper made numerous impressive saves, resulting in clean sheets against both opponents. Since 1977, Urbig is the second German goalkeeper to achieve this feat in his first two international appearances, only matching Oliver Baumann from the previous year. According to Opta data portal, Manuel Neuer, his predecessor, conceded two goals in each of his initial matches against the United Arab Emirates and Ivory Coast.\n\nUrbig expressed his satisfaction with his performance, stating that he was alert during the late game. He credited his time under Jürgen Klopp for providing him with energy and enjoyment. The second group he played with connected well in a short period. However, it remains uncertain whether Urbig will be included in the squad again in November. Klopp announced that there will only be one squad for the upcoming international matches, instead of the usual two during this extended international break.",
