Klopp's debut as national coach ends in a 1-1 draw against the Netherlands

The German national soccer team comes to a draw in Jürgen Klopp's debut as national coach. Against the Netherlands in Amsterdam, the DFB team only conceded the goal to make it 1-1 at the start of the Nations League in stoppage time. This is what the international press writes:

Netherlands

«AD»: «A defeat seemed inevitable for the new bond coach Xavi Hernández for a long time, but in injury time Cody Gakpo scored the deserved equalizer against Germany. The combative Orange team got what they deserved: a 1-1 draw.”

“Telegraaf”: “Van Bommel and Gakpo put a smile on faces in the Johan Cruyff Arena. The Xavi era at Oranje began with a deserved draw against Germany.”

Great Britain

“Daily Mail”: “Germany’s Klopp era begins.”

“Independent”: “Jürgen Klopp was denied his first victory as German national coach when his former player Cody Gakpo scored the equalizer in stoppage time.”

«Guardian»: «Gakpo prevents Klopp's perfect start, Xavis Netherlands saves a draw against Germany. An entertaining game between two teams who, let's be honest, are pretty far from their best at the moment."

France

«L'Équipe»: «It was an entertaining game that was very reminiscent of a boxing match: two opponents didn't give each other anything and dealt punches round after round. If the game had been decided on points, the Netherlands would have won. “Over the entire season they were more dangerous, had more chances, more possession, more corners and won more duels.”

Austria

«Krone»: «Draw! Dutch people mess up Klopp's DFB party. Germany achieved a 1-1 draw in the Nations League against the Netherlands in the debut of new national coach Jürgen Klopp. Cody Gakpo spoiled the game for the DFB team in stoppage time. Felix Nmecha gave the Germans the lead in the first half with a controversial goal.

Switzerland

“Blick”: “Jürgen Klopp is on the German sidelines for the first time. And he sees how his team has a lot of confusion - and how they give up the victory in the final phase."

Spain

“Sport”: “Xavi’s promising debut despite Ter Stegen and the controversy. The Dutch team salvaged a point in stoppage time thanks to a goal from Gakpo after dominating the game against Germany, who had taken the lead with a goal that was heavily protested by the hosts."

“Mundo deportivo”: “Van Bommel’s son and Gakpo prevent Xavi’s defeat against Klopp. The Netherlands, now managed by the former FC Barcelona midfielder and coach, played well against Germany, led by the former Liverpool FC coach, in whose team ter Stegen particularly shone.

“As”: “Major prize for Xavi. A late goal from Gakpo saved the Spanish coach a point on his debut on the Dutch bench. Ter Stegen prevented an embarrassment on Klopp's debut.

Italy

“Corriere dello Sport”: “Klopp: Hugs and strong emotions on his debut as German national coach. The game ends in a 1-1 draw against the Netherlands, with Xavi also making his debut."

“La Repubblica”: “All eyes on Jürgen Klopp. In short, there is no denying that all eyes were on Klopp. Germany played a good game (aggressive in the first half, powerful in the second), but that is not the final verdict.”
