German national football is in a result crisis for a long time now. It’s not just the quality of the players, as Bundesliga has more and more foreign stars, just like the Premier League, but also the lack of a proper manager. It was a great surprise when a serial winner and former assistant in the national team Hansi Flick failed miserably. Julian Nagelsmann fairly looked like a desperate solution and it showed at the World Cup. Finally, the German football federation got the one they were looking for all this time – Jurgen Klopp. Former Liverpool and Dortmund boss got the keys of the national team and the power to do almost everything he wants. And he already did one unusual thing which was followed by another one today.##LINKED_NEWS_69055##Klopp’s initial list for UEFA Nations League consisted of 44 names certainly got everybody’s attention. He basically split those players into two teams, with one set to play the first two Nations League games and the other the remaining two. And what was also very surprising was the fact that he called 11 debutants, but left out Denis Undav. And now, after the dust settled a bit, he has a marketing move – Klopp sent an email to every German international who ever played at least one cap for the country asking for support.##TWITTER_<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🇩🇪 Jürgen Klopp's message to Germany's international fans on his first day with the team <a href="https://t.co/9A0qY6ImzX">pic.twitter.com/9A0qY6ImzX</a></p>— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) <a href="https://x.com/iMiaSanMia/status/2102108179643433422?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 21, 2026</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>##Bild had a preview into the content of this email. "I am incredibly proud to have been part of the DFB family since August 15th. Your family" he says at the beginning, before thanking the former national team players for their service and their contribution to the successes of the German national teams. Klopp then continues. “As a player, I was miles away from being nominated; today, as national coach, I get to make the decision myself. That is a great privilege that I truly appreciate. Just as I cannot overstate your achievements. I would be delighted if you continue to accompany and support our national team as it restarts its journey towards the 2028 European Championship. Because we are all the national team” he wrote. Excellent idea – to unite the public around the national team, and to relieve himself of any immediate pressure.01:30: (3.70) Central Espanol (3.30) Montevideo City (1.97)
