“I would go through fire for him” – Freiburg defender hails Klopp aura ahead of potential Germany debut

SC Freiburg right-back Philipp Treu expressed strong praise for new Germany head coach Jürgen Klopp after joining the national team squad for the first time. The 25-year-old defender stated he would go through fire for Klopp, highlighting the manager's positive demeanor and commanding presence ahead of a potential debut against the Netherlands on Thursday.

Treu could earn a starting role at right-back after Klopp decided to shift Joshua Kimmich into midfield. In Germany's 24-man UEFA Nations League squad, Treu faces competition for the right-back position from VfB Stuttgart defender Josha Vagnoman.
