Germany beat Serbia 2-0 as Klopp earns first win with young squad

badische-zeitung.de (German) —

Germany's national football team secured coach Jürgen Klopp's first victory, beating Serbia 2-0 in Munich on Friday. Goals from debut scorer Tom Bischof and Florian Wirtz ended doubts about Klopp's impact following the previous loss to Greece. The revamped squad featured a completely new starting lineup without established stars, with young midfielders Bischof, Wirtz, and Aleksandar Pavlovic impressing. SC Freiburg players Philipp Treu and Derry Scherhant stood out with their pace, while goalkeeper Jonas Urbig kept a clean sheet on debut. The win improved Germany's Nations League position ahead of Sunday's return match in Greece. Klopp introduced several debutants, including Mika Baur as the 1000th player in DFB history, while former world champion Per Mertesacker cautioned that results alone don't guarantee lasting change.
