AMSTERDAM, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Germany coach Juergen Klopp refused to make any promises of silverware on Wednesday but said signs of progress should be visible when his side face the Netherlands in his first match in charge in the Nations League on Thursday.
The former Liverpool manager succeeded Julian Nagelsmann in July after Germany's shock 2026 World Cup exit.
Nagelsmann had said following Germany's Euro 2024 quarter-final defeat that he was sad he would have to wait two years to lift the World Cup, a prediction that came back to haunt him when his side were eliminated by outsiders Paraguay this summer.
Klopp was asked about his remark at the start of his Liverpool tenure that he would probably have won a title if he was still in the job four years later. He went on to win a string of trophies, including the Premier League andChampions League titles.
He was far more circumspect on Wednesday. "I don'twant to promise anything," Klopp told a press conference. "What I can say is we will try and that's what it is about now. That's where we are at the moment."
Four-times world champions Germany have been eliminated early at the last three World Cups and have tasted no major international success since lifting their last World Cup in 2014.
Klopp raised eyebrows last week by naming two separate squads for two sets of two matches in the coming days as he rebuilds the national team ahead of Euro 2028.
"I am inchargeof the senior team and my task is to take the football there so that we are in with a chance to win every game we play," Klopp said. "It won't work every day but we are working at it.I hope we can see some things already tomorrow."
"We need to take steps and the boys are ready for that," he said.
After visiting the Netherlands on Thursday, Germany host Greece on Sunday and Serbia on October 1 before travelling to Greece three days later.

阿姆斯特丹，9 月 23 日（路透社）——德国队主教练尤尔根·克洛普周三拒绝承诺任何奖杯，但他表示，当他的球队周四在欧国联中迎战荷兰队时，应该能看到进步的迹象。
在德国队意外地从2026年世界杯出局后，这位前利物浦主教练于7月接替了朱利安·纳格尔斯曼的帅位。
纳格尔斯曼在德国队2024年欧洲杯四分之一决赛失利后曾表示，他很遗憾自己不得不等待两年才能捧起世界杯，而这一预测在今年夏天他的球队被弱旅巴拉圭淘汰后，让他备受煎熬。
克洛普被问及他在执教利物浦之初曾说过，如果四年后他还在任，他很可能会赢得一个冠军。而他之后确实赢得了一系列奖杯，包括英超联赛冠军和欧冠联赛冠军。
周三，他的措辞谨慎得多。“我不想做出任何承诺，”克洛普在新闻发布会上说。“我只能说我们会尽力而为，这就是我们现在的重点。这就是我们目前的处境。”
四届世界冠军德国队在最近三届世界杯上都早早出局，自 2014 年夺得世界杯冠军以来，他们再也没有品尝过任何重大国际赛事的胜利滋味。
克洛普上周公布了两套不同的阵容，分别参加接下来几天的两场两回合比赛，此举引起了人们的关注。他正在为2028年欧洲杯重建国家队。
克洛普说：“我负责一线队，我的任务是把球队的足球风格带到那个水平，让我们有机会赢得每一场比赛。这不会每天都奏效，但我们正在努力。我希望明天就能看到一些成效。”
他说：“我们需要采取措施，孩子们也做好了准备。”
德国队周四访问荷兰后，将于周日主场迎战希腊，10月1日主场迎战塞尔维亚，三天后前往希腊。
