乔纳森·哈丁，2026年9月28日在输给希腊队后，尤尔根·克洛普面临着作为德国国家队主教练所面临的真正挑战：仅凭他的个人魅力，能否带领这支球队取得进步？
Jonathan Harding September 28, 2026 After defeat to Greece, Jürgen Klopp is confronted with the real challenge of his task as Germany head coach. Can his charisma alone push this group forward?
尤尔根·克洛普还有许多工作要做，但他的个人魅力真的足以带领这支德国队走向成功吗？
Jürgen Klopp has a lot of work to do, but is his charisma alone enough to carry this Germany team?
在执教利物浦的首个赛季中，克洛普在前五场比赛中只输掉了一场。
In his first season in charge at Liverpool Jürgen Klopp lost just one of his first five games.
德国队寄希望于能够重现类似的战绩；然而，在意外输给希腊队后，克洛普在两场比赛后仅获得1分。
Germany are hoping for a similar run emerges after a shock defeat to Greece left Klopp with just one point after his first two games. Klopp's response was familiar.
克洛普的反应一如既往：他主动承担了失败的责任，并保护这些新入选的德国球员免受批评。
The head coach took responsibility for the loss, shielding this new crop of Germany players from criticism.
赛后他表示：“我们才在一起一周时间，大家还需要时间来磨合。”
"We have been together for a week now, all mixed together, and that needs time," Klopp said after the match.
“让这些新球员慢慢成长吧。那些在各自俱乐部中表现优异的球员都得到了我的支持。你们可以批评我，但请不要批评这些年轻球员。我们没有必要把一切都搞砸。有些人会嘘声，这让我感到意外……未来充满希望，关键在于我们如何去创造它。我们会全力以赴。”他还强调，长远发展比短期恐慌更为重要，并表示需要增加训练次数，以帮助球员们掌握突破严密防守所需的战术技巧。
"Let the new players develop. The established players are top players at their clubs, and they have my support. Feel free to criticize me, but not the boys. We don't need to completely tear everything apart. I was surprised that some people booed. The future is as bright as we make it.
国际足球教练的职责与俱乐部教练截然不同。对于这位足球界最杰出的教练之一来说，最大的挑战就在于如何将自己在俱乐部中的执教方法适应国际比赛的环境。这很可能是他作为国家队主教练的最后一个任期了——这位多次赢得联赛冠军的教练能否成功调整自己的执教方式，以适应国际比赛的挑战呢？克洛普以擅长建立团队关系、培养球员的能力而闻名，他表示自己相信自己能够做到这一点。
We'll take it on with everything we have." He also emphasized development over short-term panic, citing the need for more training sessions to cement the automatic responses needed to break down well-organized defenses. International coaching is different Herein lies the challenge for one of football's greatest coaches. In likely his final job as a head coach, can the multiple league winner adapt his coaching methods to work in the international setting? Klopp, a coach and a person famous for his ability to develop relationships and grow a team at a club, has said he believes he can adapt.
毫无疑问，他的沟通方式正是这支球队所需要的。他那种富有魅力的领导风格，以及致力于培养团队文化、促进团队与球迷之间的紧密联系的做法，正是球队所需要的。在多年来一直目睹德国男子国家队在重大赛事中表现不佳之后，最大的错误莫过于在这支新队伍还未真正开始发挥作用之前就对他们失去信心。
There is no doubt his communication style is what this team needs. His charismatic focus on developing a culture and growing collectively in connection with the fans is what is required. And after many years of frustration and pain watching Germany's men at major tournaments, the biggest mistake would be to tear down this new group before it even begins.
这支队伍既需要时间，也理应得到时间来证明自己能够走多远。此前，许多教练（比如班巴塞·孔特和亨内斯·贝伦斯）都是在对阵希腊的比赛中首次执教德国队；这些新教练也是探索如何带领德国队在2028年欧洲杯上取得更好成绩的第一批尝试者。这正是克洛普为何为这四场比赛挑选了大量新球员的原因。
It both needs and deserves the time to figure out how far it can go. Bambase Conte and Hennes Behrens made their debuts vs. Greece after a host of others had done so against the Netherlands These are the first steps towards finding out who will drive Germany towards an improved outing at Euro 2028 in two summer's time. It is the main reason why Klopp chose so many players for these first four games.
如果这些球员确实缺乏足够的能力，那么仅靠克洛普一个人能否扭转局面呢？
Can Klopp alone compensate should ability be lacking?
但是，如果尽管克洛普付出了很多努力、努力营造积极的团队氛围，德国队的新一代球员仍然无法赢得奖杯呢？显然，现在还为时过早，无法给出答案——正如克洛普自己所说：“我们希望帮助这些球员在未来两三年内达到能够在顶级比赛中竞争的水平。”他还补充道：“我们采取了不同的方法，没有关注球队所缺乏的东西，而是专注于球队现有的优势。”目前，德国队确实是一支正在成长中的新队伍；同时，他们也在对阵希腊的比赛中遭遇了队史上的首场失利。
But what if, for all of Klopp's positivity and culture building this new generation of Germany players is just not good enough to win a trophy? Clearly, it is too soon to know the answer to that question, as Klopp himself has said. "We want to help prepare these players to be competing at the very top over the next two or three years," Klopp had said at his unveiling. "We took a different approach and focused not on what we don't have, but on what we do have." What Germany do have right now is both a new team looking to grow and a team that just suffered their first-ever defeat to Greece.
在利物浦执教期间，尤尔根·克洛普花费了两年时间以及大约500次训练课，才让球队达到他理想的状态。在2017-2018赛季，利物浦队成功闯入了欧冠决赛。当然，球队也需要时间来适应新的训练体系和新球员（尤其是莫·萨拉赫、罗伯托·菲尔米诺和萨迪奥·马内）带来的变化，这些新球员显著提升了球队的整体实力。
At Liverpool, it took Jürgen Klopp two years and approximately 500 odd training sessions, to reach the point where the team looked like his. In the 2017-18 season, they reached the Champions League final Alongside the time it took for the team to learn the new system, newgs, notably Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane, improved the quality.
克洛普在德国国家队教练的职位上并没有太多选择。他必须在有限的训练次数内完成尽可能多的工作——在2028年欧洲杯之前，他总共只有大约200次训练机会。他能够接近“新思路”（即采用新的训练方法或战术理念）的唯一方式，就是征召那些尚未入选过国家队的年轻球员；在这支德国国家队阵容中，有11名球员是首次入选国家队。
Klopp doesn't have that option in the Germany job. He has to do more with fewer training sessions – Klopp will have approximately 200 before Euro 2028. And the closest he can get to newgs are by calling up uncapped Germany players – there were 11 first-time call-ups in this Germany squad.
这位59岁的教练表示，他的整个职业生涯都为他今天的这份工作奠定了基础；这份工作很可能会成为他职业生涯中最大的挑战。编辑：Chuck Penfold
