Germany's national football team drew 1:1 with the Netherlands in Amsterdam in Jürgen Klopp's first match as national team head coach. The match was evenly balanced, and both teams traded attacking moves as well as hard challenges throughout. n-tv ↗
Klopp took over the German national team amid great anticipation. His debut, however, did not bring a win, as the Netherlands managed to score an equalizer to make it 1:1 and hold the draw until the end. The match was played in Amsterdam against a team led by new coach Xavi Hernández.
For the former FC Barcelona coach, it was a debut on the bench of the Dutch national team. Hernández took over the squad after a disappointing World Cup, and his arrival was accompanied by doubts and a reserved attitude toward his appointment. Nevertheless, his profile is considered suitable for a team that wants to build on its footballing tradition. WDR Nachrichten ↗
Goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen also returned to the German lineup. He played an international match for the first time in 15 months and started as the number one in Klopp's debut. His return was thus among the most notable moments of the match. Tagesspiegel ↗
The draw gave both coaches an opening experience ahead of further international commitments. In the coming matches, both Klopp and Hernández will have to work on stabilizing their teams and confirming the changes they announced upon their arrival.
