Germany is eagerly anticipating the debut of Jürgen Klopp as the head coach of the national team. The Bundesteam faces a challenging test right away in the UEFA Nations League clash in Amsterdam, where they will take on the Netherlands.
Sport Bild shares an intriguing insight from within the national squad. “A telling example of how seriously every team member is approaching the task of emotionally rebooting German football was demonstrated by 43-year-old Dutchman Pepijn Lijnders. Klopp’s right-hand man at Liverpool, now serving as his assistant with the Bundesteam, secluded himself in a monastery for an entire week during preparations to intensively improve his German language skills. This clearly shows that the sense of team unity has ceased to be a mere slogan and is once again filled with genuine meaning,” the German publication reports.
