Jürgen Klopp delighted with Germany performance versus Serbia: This must be the baseline

Klopp's reign started with a 1-1 draw against the Netherlands, before his side were surprisingly beaten 1-0 at home against Greece in the new head coach's second outing. However, he finally got off the mark thanks to a comfortable victory over the Balkan nation, with this also the first game for the second of his two squads selected for this international break.

"This performance must now be the baseline. This will go into my archives, so we can show the lads how it can be done," he said after full-time. "I told the lads before the match that I've never seen a bad game when the counter-pressing is on fire – and it was today. I'm satisfied with everything: the start, the middle, and the finish. We had a very good opening phase and could have scored more goals from the ball recoveries."
