Jürgen Klopp celebrates his first victory as national coach

After his first win as national coach, Jürgen Klopp didn't know what the evening would bring. A party? At least an after-work beer? "I have no idea, I have no experience with it. I have never won a game as a national coach," replied the 59-year-old when asked about the national team's celebration habits.

“Do we have beer on the bus?” he asked the press spokeswoman next to him on the podium. And with this cold drink in his hand, would he be a good role model for the players? In Liverpool he used to like to drink a beer after away games, Klopp said humorously.

Someone had fun with the party theme. After the 2-0 (goals: Tom Bischof/39th, Florian Wirtz/61st) against Serbia in the third Nations League game, Klopp had fun with (almost) everything. The relief, yes, the liberation of the first victory under his coaching direction at the DFB was palpable.

“Everything was really good,” Klopp resorted to a superlative. In particular, Liverpool striker Wirtz, who has been criticized for months, stood out, and not just because of his goal. The international press also thought so. An overview.
