“We have to get used to the fact that we are really good,” says Klopp

The German national team confidently wins the Nations League in Serbia. After the 3-1 win in Belgrade, Jürgen Klopp's team has a final to qualify for the quarter-finals - if the team wins against the Netherlands in Berlin next Monday (8.45 p.m. / ARD and in the live ticker on WELT), they will be in the knockout round of the Nations League.

The victory in Serbia was never in danger for a second, Germany started strong and set the course for victory with an early double strike. "The first half was very good, we played really good football. It was a well-deserved win, we could have scored a few more goals. It was a good performance. There is a final on Monday, we have to win. We are looking forward to the game," said captain Joshua Kimmich on RTL.

His coach was clearly more euphoric. "The team played a really great game. We have to get used to the fact that we are really good. Of course we could have scored more goals. But I just told the team that I really don't care. We can't say that we start a process and then always say that we have to be further," said Klopp. It was outstandingly good: “The counter-pressing was outstanding, the intensity was top – a really, really good game.”

“Brajan is an extraordinary talent”

The national coach had special praise for Brajan Gruda, who made it 3-0 and scored his first goal in his first international match: "Brajan is an extraordinary talent with extraordinary skills. It was really nice to see how he first played simply and then took risks."

Then the national coach looked to the near future: "We are where we should be today. We wanted to qualify for the final in Berlin, we have that now. We are there to show you all that German football is doing well and that it is in good hands. Our first order of business is for the world out there to see: we can play."
