Klopp under fire after draw and defeat in Nations League

Jürgen Klopp has not enjoyed a good start in charge of the Germany national team. In the first two Nations League matches, the side drew against the Netherlands and lost yesterday against Greece, leaving one draw and one defeat.

Expectations and reality

The former Dortmund and Liverpool manager arrived with high expectations after years without success. However, criticism has begun to mount following the initial results.

The draw against the Netherlands and the loss to Greece are the first two Nations League fixtures under Klopp's leadership. Both results have fed the perception of a difficult start.

One of the harshest criticisms comes from former German international Bastian Schweinsteiger, now a commentator for ARD, who said: “We are no longer an elite team. Now we are mediocre. We no longer have players capable of making a difference.” He added that even Greece have players such as Karetsas, Tzolis and Pavlidis who do make a difference.

A commentator quoted by journalist Yaca Garcia‑Planas said: “If I have to pay money to watch a player, I’ll pay to see Lamine rather than Mbappé.” For his part, Santi Cañizares commented on the Ballon d'Or: “Before Lamine and Mbappé, there are two superior candidates.”
