Nommé sélectionneur : Klopp refuse le complexe français et croit au renouveau allemand
Appointed as head coach of the German national team after the 2026 World Cup, Jürgen Klopp has outlined his roadmap. Aware of the Mannschaft's shortcomings compared to the top nations, the German manager believes that success will primarily come from the strength of the collective, rather than from comparisons with the world's best teams.
Eliminated in the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup by Paraguay (1-1, 3-4 on penalties), after two early exits in the group stage in 2018 and 2022, Germany is going through a difficult period. This situation has led some to compare its current level to that of France.
In a press conference this Friday, Klopp dismissed the debate. "When people in Germany ask: are we as good as France? And the answer is no, that's not true. The question should rather be: do we have players like Dembélé, Mbappé, Doué, or Barcola? The answer is no. But that doesn't stop us from being able to beat them," explained the former Liverpool manager.
For the new coach, the objective is not to compete individually with the greatest talents in world football, but to build a team capable of making the difference thanks to its playing identity.
"The most important thing is to focus on ourselves and on how we play football. We are not number one in the world today, but we must make sure that we can beat the best teams with our football," he insisted.
