Kimmich acknowledges challenges as Germany prepares for Nations League
Summary

Joshua Kimmich emphasized the need for Germany to rediscover its identity under new coach Jürgen Klopp ahead of the Nations League match against the Netherlands. Germany's recent performance has been disappointing, with exits in the 2018 World Cup group stage, Euro 2020 round of 16, group stage of the 2022 World Cup, and a quarterfinal loss to Spain in Euro 2024. Kimmich affirmed his role as captain to help lead the team back to its potential as it starts a new chapter under Klopp’s guidance.
