Leak Sparks Fury! Klopp Slams German Media as 'Pathetic'

Klopp criticized German media for prematurely leaking his first squad list, calling it 'pathetic.' He took charge as Germany's head coach in July and announced a 44-man squad to compete in four UEFA Nations League matches against Netherlands, Greece, and Serbia. Wirtz, Havertz, and Musiala were placed in different groups, with Havertz and Musiala set to play in the first two matches. Undav, Germany's top scorer at the World Cup with three goals, was left out; 23-year-old Kader earned his first call-up from SV Elversberg. Klopp wore a German flag-themed cap featuring the '1 in 83 million' design, stating he wants to win back the flag. Germany was eliminated by Paraguay in the Round of 32, leading to Nagelsmann's sacking. The squad will face Netherlands on September 24, Greece three days later, and Serbia on October 1 in a second group.
