Klopp wants to Germany back on top of the world
Jurgen Klopp is still rebuilding with Germany after just two games, and he will be keen to get his first win in charge against Serbia on Friday (AEST).
The former Liverpool boss is still searching for a first win in charge after a 1-1 draw against Netherlands a shock 1-0 defeat to Greece in the UEFA Nations League so far.
No Germany head coach has ever failed to win each of their first three matches in charge.
Next up for Germany is Serbia, and Klopp will get the chance to see his second squad of players across the last two games of the international window.
"We will build a team that can cause problems for all teams," Klopp said.
"We're just getting started in this process. We are all interested in bringing German football back to where we all want it to be."
While Germany sits third in Group A2 with one point, Serbia props up the table having lost its opening two matches against Greece and Netherlands, both by 2-1 scorelines.
Serbia faced 51 shots across those two matches, and despite their recent struggles, Klopp is still confident it will provide a stern test for Germany.
"Serbia's approach won't be much different from what Greece did," Klopp said.
"What makes Serbia particularly difficult to play against is their experience. They also have some excellent footballers. They know all the tricks of the trade, so we have to be prepared for that.
"They have a special mentality. It's not the best period in Serbian football at the moment, but the players themselves know what's at stake and have fought for one another.
"An opponent that sits deep is a major challenge for any team, at any stage of development."
While Klopp did not confirm who would act as captain in Joshua Kimmich's absence – the 31-year-old was only included in the first squad – he did disclose one starter.
Jonas Urbig will make his senior team debut on Friday (AEST), and the goalkeeper is excited to get his first cap.
"I found out in training and was, of course, very happy," he said.
"It will be a very special moment for me."
