Klopp Bets on Schierhorn and Troy

Jurgen Klopp, the coach of the German national team, surprised many by including two players from Freiburg following the disappointing performances of the German side at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

However, Klopp is banking on Freiburg’s identity, relying on defender Philip Treu and winger Derya Schierhant to play a key role in the upcoming matches against Serbia and the Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League.

Schierhant also expressed his great joy at returning to the national team squad, after making his debut last month.

Klopp said, “Schierhant was a pleasant surprise during the first training camp” during the international break in September and October.

The German national team coach also highly praised Treu’s abilities and his capacity to fill the gap at right-back in a record time.

He added, “Treu delivered an excellent performance in the first camp, and I was very impressed by his development from a new face to a key player in a short period.”
