After losing a game Jürgen Klopp said post-match Germany “cannot lose,” there’s early pressure on the new boss to deliver his first victory at the helm of the national team on Thursday.
Germany was merely minutes away from kick-starting the Klopp era with an impressive victory over the Netherlands in its UEFA Nations League opener, and allowed the disappointment from Cody Gakpo’s stoppage-time equalizer to seep into Sunday’s duel with Greece.
The four-time world champion was stunned by Dimitrios Kourbelis’s 74th-minute strike as Greece claimed its first-ever victory over the Germans.
Still, there’s no need for Klopp to panic yet, with the former Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool manager well aware of the task he’s taken on. “The result is not cool, but it is absolutely part of the process,” he said after Greece’s triumph.
The bumper international break means there’s another chance in this window for Klopp to oversee his maiden victory in the role, and Germany is welcoming Serbia to the Allianz Arena on Thursday.
Here’s how to watch the action unfold around the world.
