In a UEFA Nations League group stage match, Germany defeated Serbia 2-0. After the game, Wirtz, who scored and provided an assist, was interviewed by ZDF about the team's performance, his experience wearing the captain's armband, and playing under Klopp.

Everyone in the Germany team was in a good mood, and the fans were also very happy. The team completely controlled the game, how did you feel on the pitch?

It was really a lot of fun to play. I think everyone on the pitch today gave their all and executed the game plan. We did almost everything right today.

In the second half, you returned to the pitch as captain. Did that motivate you even more?

Yes, of course, it's very special. I didn't expect to be captain in these upcoming matches. But it certainly makes me very proud. I still gave my best on the pitch to make sure we could win the game, and we ultimately did.

You played a very good game, scoring one goal and providing one assist. Why was it so easy and free-flowing today?

I think my teammates also made it easier for me today. We moved a lot in midfield and had very good teamwork. Everyone was very enthusiastic about playing today, which made it easier for me to perform.

How happy are you to play under Klopp?

As everyone saw today, very happy.
