Klopp refused to accept congratulations from his Spanish counterpart Xavi, saying a draw was not something to be celebrated. However, he was pleased with his team's high-intensity performance and their willingness to compete in every match. The team's usual high-pressing style, known as Volgasfussbal, was only visible in the first five minutes of the game.
Klopp has time to put his stamp on the national team, but he will need to work on several areas. His players showed great enthusiasm and were ready to give their all in every match. The German coach will have to adapt to his new role and find a balance between his expectations and the team's capabilities.
A recent survey found that 59.7% of German football fans believe that the team can win the European Championship in 2028 under Klopp's leadership. However, former coach Joachim Löw warned against excessive optimism, saying that changes take time and require patience.
