Germany head coach Jurgen Klopp has commented on his team’s 3-1 victory over Serbia in the fifth round of the UEFA Nations League.
“The team played a great game. We have to get used to being able to play very well. Of course, we could have scored more goals, but that does not matter to me right now. You cannot talk about development and demand everything immediately at the same time,” the German Football Association’s official website quoted Klopp as saying.
The coach said the combinations worked very well, Germany dominated possession and the intensity of the game was high. He said Serbia played more aggressively in the second half, while Germany initially struggled to find its rhythm. Klopp stressed that the team’s aim had been to put in a confident performance and that it had succeeded.
After the win, Germany sit third in Group A2 with eight points. Serbia are bottom without a point. Germany will face the Netherlands in their final group-stage match on November 16.
